Empire Season 1 Episode 1

Historical Inaccuracies / Creative Freedom:
- Armed soldiers were not allowed in the city proper until after the formation of the Empire in 27 BC.
- Caesar never traveled in a chariot except during his triumphs.
- Wheeled vehicles were only allowed in the city proper after dark.
- Caesar was killed on the steps of the Temple of Bellona outside the city boundary and not inside an actual session of the Senate.
- An actual Senator would never bend his knee to Caesar who, while he was the Dictator, was also a Senator. The Senator would have considered himself Caesar's equal.
- Outside the Arena, Tyrannus would never have had access to his sword. Paid body guards carried clubs. Only lictors could have weapons. Caesar would have had 24 lictors as Dictator. He had dismissed them on the Ides.
- By being in Rome, Marc Antony would have taken off his military uniform and put on his purple-striped toga for a meeting of the Senate (of which he was a member).
- Atia, Octavius' mother, was actually Caesar's niece. Atia's mother was Caesar's sister, a Julia (as were all the women of his direct line).
