RE: DAMN
Maybe the lost library of Ivan can clear up how Commodus could be the son of Nero, since the latter lived about 120 years before the former and was the son of Marcus Aurelius.
Boudica was contemporary with Nero, but the Celts or barbarians or whatever they're supposed to be never threatened the city of Rome during Nero's reign. That wouldn't happen for another 300-350 years or so. The Celts never came near Italy.
Somehow gladiators are fighting in the Coliseum during Nero's reign, which is amazing since it wasn't finished until about A.D. 80. It was started by Vespasian and finished by his son Titus.
Whatever. It's a fun story but quite insane in what it gets wrong. It's like monkeys flinging Roman history feces at a wall.
