It's kinda disappointing that she chose to use the outdated depiction of the Colossus. On the other hand, it does fit the theme so far of lost wonders of the ancient world (like the secret chamber under the pyramid and the minotaurobot).

It's said those who do not seek power are the best to wield it.

At least we didn't get to see them pass under those big metal balls

Vespasian isn't associated with cabbage, though. That would be the much later Diocletian. Vespasian is instead associated with turnips (he famously got pelted with them on one occasion) and mules (he went into the mule trade while in North Africa). Also, the two old guys got switched here. In real history, Pliny was the one who was around in Rome to see the construction of the Domus Aurea (he was close to Nero at this time), while Vespasian was the one who went on a Mediterranean tour, straight from North Africa, to catch up with Nero's retinue when he was touring Greece.
