violence
Comic violence includes punches being thrown and people being stoned as punishment. A scene shows the aftermath of a gladiatorial event with body parts strewn around the floor of a colosseum; the gory images are both comic and unrealistic. There is a brief moment in which there is a debate about whether a character's conception had come about by his mother being forced into having sex.
language
There is infrequent strong language ('f**k'), as well as milder bad language including uses of 'wanker', 'tart', 'bloody', 'piss off', 'bugger off', 'shit', 'balls', 'bastard', 'arse', 'sods', 'damn' and 'hell'.
sex
The design of a mosaic suggests that a woman is touching a man under a large leaf covering his crotch. There are comic references to penis size and virginity. There is also comic wordplay on Roman names such as 'Biggus Diccus'.
additional issues
In a comic rant a man insists that he is Jewish and refers to himself as "a kike, Yid, Hebe, hooknose, kosher". There is also brief, non-sexual full frontal female and male nudity.
