* The Mystery Machine is absent in this episode.
* A "Daphanatic" from the direct-to-video film Scooby-Doo! Frankencreepy, somehow has a black and white snapshot of Daphne wearing her headscarf and sunglasses from this episode.
* Daphne is able to drive in this episode, although later in the DTV Scooby-Doo! Moon Monster Madness, she's depicted as having a hard time getting her driver's license.
=== Miscellaneous ===
* Disguises: Shaggy as a gladiator.
* Traps:
* Scooby Snacks bribe: 2 boxes for Scooby and Shaggy.
* "Ruh-roh" count:
* "Zoinks" count: 4.

=== Cultural references ===
* The episode name is a parody of the song "Pomp and Circumstance".
* Daphne has a credit card named HNB, an allusion to Hanna-Barbera.
* Scooby-Doo and Shaggy having an accidental kiss as the result of eating spaghetti from the same plate is a reference to the film Lady and the Tramp.
=== Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches ===
* None known.
=== Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities ===
* The map covering Perugia and Sorrento spell them as "Perugla" and "Sorrenlo", respectively.
* How did overflowing lava return to the volcano after Daphne kicked the generator?
* After Daphne goes in another direction while in the Colosseum, her purse disappears, which would have been handy to explain where she suddenly got the headscarf and sunglasses from. It's possible she had money that wasn't from her credit card that she used to buy them (presumably quickly) after they brought the convertible.
* Scooby-Doo says ouch when he doesn’t get his nose Pinched.
* It isn't explained what Captain Guzman is getting out of it from helping Ugo. It's likely he's a paid accomplice otherwise he's just somebody who simply likes to do illegal things for fun or out of spite.
* Apparently it did not occur to either Captain Guzman or Ugo that they could make much more money by selling the artifacts excavated than the buildings.
