Roma Dominus/Tropes

Main

 * Aspect Ratio Switch: The prologue is in 4:3 to simulate the look of an old documentary from the 1990s. The rest of the movie is in SixByOne (6:1, the widest aspect ratio ever created for a film) or 2:35.1 on the home media and regular cinema releases.
 * Alternate History: The film is set in 1997, in a time when the Roman Empire never fell and the Library of Alexandria was never destroyed.
 * Creator Thumbprint: Two Homestar Runner books are seen in a supermarket in Egypt.
 * More Dakka: The Roman assault rifles have a ridiculously high fire rate. The novelization specifies their fire rate is 3,500 RPM, just the right amount for any mook.

Trivia

 * California Doubling: London stood in for Rome and Dungeness stood in for Cairo.
