Notes
- Rory spends a lot of this story in monologue to a statue of Amy Pond he has had constructed. He considers two possibilities for why he had never heard of his own reign in the history books. Firstly, he considers that he is in an alternate timeline; secondly, that the Romans were embarrassed to have been ruled by a woman and a former gladiator, and so wiped them from history.
