Mistakes/Goofs
- Goof (plot holes): The action that takes place during "Rome" covers huge lengths of time, yet the characters do not age accordingly. For example, Season 2 begins with the assassination of Julius Caesar (44 BC) and ends with Octavian's capture of Egypt (30 BC) a period of 14 years, and yet during the course of the season, no aging takes place among the characters (with the exception of an actor change for Octavian)...take particular note of the children of Lucius Vorenus, who are children in 44 BC, and by the end of the show have most certainly not aged 14 years (they are STILL children at the end). Keep in mind that in Roman times, an entire life span was only 40 or 50 years, so 14 years could represent more than a quarter of someone's life.
- Goof (factual errors): Caesarion was 17 years-old when Octavian seized control of Alexandria. Prior to Octavian's invasion, Caesarion was sent by Cleopatra out of Egypt to escape. However, Caesarion's guardians brought Caesarion back to Alexandria (possibly by promises made by Octavian) where Octavian had Caesarion murdered and uttered the infamous line, "Two Caesars is one too many." Caesarion never left Egypt alive. Strong evidence also suggests that Caesarion was, indeed, the son of Julius Caesar.
