Trivia
Eirene remains pregnant for an impossibly long time given the historical events of the series. She first tells Pullo of her condition in Philippi which historical events occur around 42 B.C. She is still pregnant in Death Mask, an episode where Octavia marries Mark Antony, which happened in 40 B.C. And then finally dies in A Necessary Fiction, still pregnant, which must occur in 39 or 38 B.C. judging by other historical events, like the betrothal of Octavian and Livia. The timeline inconsistency occurred when the producers received word that Rome would be cancelled after the second season, thus necessitating rewriting the last few scripts to conclude the series.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
