[edit] Notes
- PARENTAL WARNING: Children under ten should listen with their parents. It contains some violence at the Coliseum in Rome.
- VERSION DIFFERENCE: The album version does not include the parental warning that aired before the broadcast version.
- GOOF ALERT: At the Colosseum scene toward the end of this episode, the crowd supposedly gives the gladiators "thumbs up" as the "let him live" sign and the "thumbs down" as the "kill him" sign. However, this is historically inaccurate. According to Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, "In the ancient Roman combats, when a gladiator was vanquished it rested with the spectators to decide whether he should be slain or not. If they wished him to live, they shut up their thumbs in their fists; if to be slain they turned out their thumbs."
- Actually, there is still dispute on whether or not thumbs up meant death or not.
