Combat Pragmatist: Apollodorus is a very good fighter and doesn't hesitate to use kicks and punches when his gladius-wielding adversaries expect it the least.

A Child Shall Lead Them: King Ptolemy is a child. He died at age 14 in Real Life.

Actually, I Am Him: At the beginning, Cleopatra meets Caesar at The Sphinx, and Caesar doesn't tell her who he is. He reveals himself to her in the next scene, much to her own (delighted) surprise.

Ascended Extra: Apollodorus has a bigger role there than he had in Real Life. His real life counterpart is just known for smuggling the rolled up carpet in which Cleopatra was hiding into Alexandria, whereas the movie character sticks around for much of the remainder of the film after that.

Carpet-Rolled Corpse: Non-dead version. Cleopatra is smuggled into Alexandria rolled into a carpet, as she was in Real Life according to Plutarch, and like most depictions.
