The Spoils - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: Titus Pullo beheads a spear-wielding gladiator with his own shield, but in the next full shot we see of the two, the gladiator's head is still intact. (00:40:43)
Rome (2005)
1 mistake in The Spoils
Starring: Polly Walker, Ray Stevenson, Kevin McKidd, Kerry Condon
Titus Pullo: It's as hot as Vulcan's dick.
Trivia: Although they didn't have any scenes together, Kevin McKidd (Vorenus) and Tobias Menzies (Brutus) would discuss their characters and brainstorm about how to portray them, because they felt their characters went through very similar moral conflicts. Confirmed by Kevin McKidd on the season one DVD commentary.
Question: Was Series 2 shortened? Series 1 had 12 episodes vs 10 for Series 2. Also some of the subplots in Series 2 didn't really go anywhere and were tied up abruptly, e.g. Tyman killing his brother.
Answer: The show became too costly to produce so they ended the season early to save money.
