Wildly inaccurate history[[edit source]]

Although I realize History isn't always very well represented in Doctor Who (it's a staple of the show), this one takes the cake. There was no "Byzantium" (not even "Constantinople") in the 1st century AD, since the city was only founded by Constantine the Great in the fourth century. (And the less we talk of those horrendous soldiers on the cover, the better.) Or maybe it's explained/justified in the novel itself (timey-wimey stuff)? --Lelal Mekha File:The Uprising crest.png (Audience Room) 15:59, December 3, 2019 (UTC)
