* TwistingTheProphecy: [[WickedWitch Locusta's]] prophecy predicts that a new god will rise in to power in Rome, something the [[TheCaligula tyranical emperor Nero]] takes to mean himself, his goal to become an immortal GodEmperor and "carve my name across the bones of this Earth". Ficus tries to stop the prophecy coming to pass, before residing that there is no way to prevent it. However, he realises the Prophecy doesn't specify it has to be Nero, and instead engineers it so its the benevolent [[UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} carpenter god]] worshiped by that new religious group with a thing for fish.

* AntiHero: Aquila has a noble goal, freeing Rome from the tyranny of Nero, but he's by no means friendly, and initially indifferent to the plight of the Christians in Rome.

* FullFrontalAssault: The Britons capture Aquila and lock him in a burning wicker giant, but he escapes, with all his clothes burnt off, and starts slaughtering them in their hundreds. Also qualifies as FanDisservice, because he's horrifically scarred by the fire.
* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: Locusta, Nero's wife, and presumably a counterpart to Poppaea Sabina, is a witch, as opposed to a normal Roman woman. Sporus, traditionally Nero's Greek eunuch and bedslave, is depicted as a gigantic fat gladiator who brutally attacks Aquila [[spoiler:to buy time for his master to kill himself]]. He's still a eunuch, though.
* LovableCoward: Felix, Aquila's sidekick.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Stygian Leeches, Roman underworld demons that attack the Christians hiding in a Roman cemetery.

* EunuchsAreEvil: The high priest of Attis and Sporus, Nero's pet gladiator, are both eunuchs, and both of them are callous individuals; the high priest has a malicious smirk as he tries abandoning Aquila to get killed by his god, and Sporus attacks Aquila himself to buy [[spoiler:Nero]] time to kill himself. They also both qualify as [[FatBastard Fat Bastards]], judging by how unbelievably fat they are.
