Romulus's throne was built specifically so that the feet of fifteen-year-old Thomas Brodie-Sangster would not touch the floor when he sat in it to reinforce the perception of a small child being dwarfed by events going on about him.
Director Doug Lefler managed to get all of the family of Thomas Brodie-Sangster in this movie (uncredited). At 01:01:10 Thomas's mother Anastasia is shown hugging Kustennin, commander of the Ninth Legion, and again at 01:09:40 as Ygraine's mother. At 01:03:25 Thomas's younger sister Ava is shown as the first Celtic girl in the scene where Ambrosinus explains the heritage of Caesar's sword. At 01:10:48 in the background by Kunstennin, as the blacksmith begins stating his view of Romulus living among them, is Thomas's father Mark.
(At around thirteen minutes) Ferdinand Kingsley, son of Sir Ben Kingsley, played Sir Ben Kingsley's character in flashbacks as a young man in Britannia.
(At around thirty-seven minutes) The statue of Gaio Giulio Cesare was not the primary statue used in Tunisia. Rather, it was a special effects statue with a large gaping hole in its back and which was intended to be rigged to blow up. When production moved from Tunisia to Slovakia the primary statue was lost.

"Demetrius: You kept your armor after all these years? Tertius: Ten years as a farmer gives you something worth fighting for. Twenty as a legionary teaches you to be ready for the day. Demetrius: Good man."
"Aurelius: My friends, we've all seen many mornings like this one. Together we've watched the sun rise, and not known if that day would be our last. Some comrades I've seen, scarcely out of boyhood, trembling before their first battle. Demetrius: It was a cold morning, Commander. Aurelius: That it was, Demetrius. And you men of the Ninth Legion, all of us, together we have fought all our lives for the Empire our ancestors created, and together we have watched that Empire crumble to dust. And with its fall we have lost two friends. I can tell you that in the darkest moments, I came to believe that there was nothing left to fight for. But I've been shown, through the wisdom of others, that there is one more battle to be waged, against tyranny and the slaughter of innocents. Let us defend to the last breath this island of Brittania, against those who would tear out its heart and soul! And then those who come after us l remember that there was such a thing as a Roman soldier, with a Roman sword, and a Roman heart! [draws sword] Aurelius: Hail, Caesar! All: Hail, Caesar!"
