Some of the actors spoke good English with good accents, however in order to sell the film in the US, they too were dubbed.
To lower the rating, some DVD and VHS releases cut the scene where Tiberius attacks and rapes Julia.
Titus Vossberg based the villa decoration on actual Roman decorations. The wall painting of the study, the atrium, Augustus' bedroom and Julia's bedroom were all inspired by the authentic wall paintings that originally came from a villa belonging to Agrippa and Julia.
The full German title "Augustus - Mein Vater, der Kaiser" literally means in English "Augustus - My Father, the Emperor." The title "My Father, the Emperor" was originally going to be the international English title, but distributors felt that "Augustus" was more suitable.
As part of the contract deal, the British and Italian companies hired actors and actresses from each of the countries that put money into the making of the film.
"Augustus: Did I play my role well, in the comdey of life? Julia: The gods will tell you father. Augustus: Applause, please."
"Octavius: [to Agrippa] The Egyptian relgion declares that to die of a snake bite will secure immortality. Did you know that, Agrippa? Maecenas: Never mind that! History... History will never forget this moment. At last, every legion in Rome listens to the command of a single man. The peace of Rome is assured, to the one, absolute ruler of the Roman Empire. Agrippa: [In disgust] So, that was you plan all along, Octavius? To wear a crown on your head! Maecenas: In order to keep the nobles from tearing Rome apart he must be king. He will be declared..."Augustus"!"
