Ambiguous Ending: The Judgement of Caesar ends with Gordianus and Bethesda having a conversation in what appears to be the afterlife, after Gordianus seems to drown in the Nile while looking for her. In The Triumph of Caesar, he is unable to explain what happened and how he and Bethesda are still alive after being thought dead.

Ambiguously Gay: Meto's sexuality is never openly addressed in the books: however, he has a very close relationship with Caesar, which many gossips suggest is romantic and sexual in nature. Meto himself never makes any attempts to refute this, and he's never shown to have any interest in women.
