Anachronisms: When Lupus is brought to the surface on the dolphin's back, the leg of a wetsuit is clearly visible beneath his tunic.

Quotes:

[Lupus is playing with a stick]
Flavia Gemina:Where did you find that?
[giggles]
Flavia Gemina:Lupus, I know you lived on the street before coming here, but...
Gaius:[o.s] Flavia! Where's the sponge stick?

[Lupus looks at the stick, and realizes]
Jonathan Ben-Mordechai:You guessed it, Lupus. One of the many wonders of the Roman civilization: the bottom wiper.
