Artistic License – History: Has numerous examples of this. For example, at one point a character says the Senate chose Consuls during the Roman Republic, when in reality the Consulship was an elected position. A particularly obvious anachronism is the Eastern Roman Empire being called the Byzantine Empire, when that was a term not invented until 1557, long after it had actually ceased to exist. The worst case by far is the mention of the Jews never completing the Exodus and remaining in Egypt for thousands of years, when most historians agree it never happened and Moses was an invented figure.

Alternate History: The actual Roman Empire was divided in two during the 4th century AD; the Western Empire fell in 476 and the Eastern one in 1453.

Ab Urbe Condita: Since Christianity did not attain political power in this timeline, dates in Roma Eterna are not given as AD but as AUC, Ab Urbe Condita, that is, since the traditional year of the foundation of Rome (753 BC).

Artistic License – Geography: One short story implies a Roman army of seven legions landed and constructed an entire camp on the beach. Which is like having the Super Bowl on a sidewalk.
