[post_page_title]Pompeii: Purple capes weren’t allowed at the time[/post_page_title]
Another historical film with a not-so historical mistake. The disaster film which was released in 2014 is actually a co-production between three countries: Germany, Canada and the U.S.
This is probably why some of the historical facts fell through the cracks. Some of the generals in the film, including Kiefer Sutherland’s character, are seen wearing capes which are purple. However, the Emperor at the time, Nero, punished anyone who dared to wear purple besides him with death. Go figure.
