The book:

  • Alternate Character Interpretation:
    • It is not Hortensius who Heel Face Turned to Cicero's side, but Cicero who Face Heel Turned to side with Hortensius and the aristocrats.
    • Mark Antony is regarded by Cicero (and Tiro) as a bloodthirsty, power crazed thug. On the other hand, Cicero has Antony's stepfather executed without trial and proclaims the assassination of his mentor Caesar to be the greatest act in the history of the Republic. From Antony's point of view, it's quite possibly Pay Evil unto Evil.
  • Nightmare Fuel: In Dictator, Cassius's after-action report describes, in vivid detail and blunt, clinical language, the slaughter of Crassus's doomed expedition at Carrhae.

Film

  • Playing Against Type: Daniel Radcliffe is clearly trying to shake off his image as a rag-topped British schoolboy in a fantasy world by playing a tough, undercover FBI agent posing as a Neo-Nazi skinhead here.
