What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on the novel of the same name by Italian historian and writer Valerio Massimo Manfredi, which was published in 2002. It was translated into a number of other languages, including English and Russian, with a total print run of over 6 million copies.
- The idea for this plot first emerged at Dino De Laurentiis' production company, which invited Valerio Manfredi as a historical consultant. He became very interested in the project, and when work on it stalled, he chose to partially use the idea himself and write a historical novel. The novel gained great popularity in Europe, which helped to secure the necessary funding for the film, after which the writer himself returned to his role as a consultant and helped adapt the screenplay.
- Several frames were removed from the American version of the film in order to achieve the desired PG-13 rating.
- In various scenes closer to the end of the film, all members of Thomas Sangster's family appear in cameo roles – his mother Anastasia (the woman who embraces Castennus, commander of the Ninth Legion, and Igraine's mother), father Mark (the blacksmith who delivers a speech about his vision of Romulus's life amongst them), and younger sister Ava (a Celtic girl in the scene where Ambrosinus explains the origin of Caesar's sword).
- Caesar's throne was constructed in such a way that the feet of the 15-year-old Thomas Sangster did not touch the floor. This was done to amplify the impression of a small child overwhelmed by the events unfolding around him.
- More than four hours of filmed material did not make it into the final version of the film, including a heroic crossing of the Alps and a crossing of the English Channel.
- Director Doug Lefler was suggested as a candidate by producer Raffaella De Laurentiis, who had previously worked with him on "Dragonheart: A New Beginning (2000)."
