- she repeatedly portrays the Romans as "brutes", "barbarians", in spite of the ample historical evidence that the Romans were much MORE civilised: they had a much more advanced law system, they had much more advanced cities with proper sewage, they had proper schools, they had central heating in the homes of the rich, they had public latrines, you name it: they were much MORE civilised.
YOU GO GIRL. Okay, it's ridiculous, and I highly doubt the historical accuracy, but... it made me laugh. ALSO, I love that she mentions cutting off his ear, because it refers back to when Cleopatra saw Cicero giving one of his famous speeches in court, about a girl who'd cut the ear off a man who was trying to strangle her:
