During the parade, a slave holds a golden crown of olive leaves above Marcus Vinicius' (Robert Taylor's) head and reminds him that he is only a man. This is an accurate portrayal of what was done during such triumphal marches. This scene was parodied in Mel Brooks' History of the World: Part I (1981), in which Court Spokesman - The Roman Empire (Howard Morris) said, "Remember, thou art mortal" into the ear of Marcus Vindictus (Shecky Greene), to which Vindictus replied, "Blow it out your ass." Marcus Vindictus' name was a direct parody of Marcus Vinicius' name.
