Pompeii: No Purple Capes
It is unfortunate that some of the Pompeii generals, including Kiefer Sutherland’s character, wear purple capes. There’s nothing wrong with that, right? Wrong. Historically speaking, Nero, the reigning Emperor, had actually put to death anyone that dared to wear the color purple besides him.

Ben Hur: The Star of David
Jack Huston stars in the movie adaptation of the novel Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ. It seems the actor didn’t have a clue that he wasn’t supposed to wear the Star of David. Despite the fact that it was a rather powerful sight to behold, it wasn’t accurate since the first records linked to the Star of David were not found until the 12 century. Huston wearing the star is certainly out of time.
