The deviation from circularity is far too subtle to have been measured by any instruments available to Hypatia - more than a millennium earlier.
• Movie Goof (factual errors): Hypatia was born between 350 C.E. and 370 C.E. and was murdered in 415 C.E. She was between 45 and 65 years old when she died.
