Line 11:
** The immortal maintains a huge and obvious collection of artifacts that actually aren't proof of his long life.
** Julius makes a [[Visual Pun|literal exposition in a museum-like style]] with all evidence that he lived in the Ancient Rome. With texts in Latin.
* '''Deconstructed''': Julius feels sad when he sees the evidence of his immortality because that evidence
* '''Reconstructed''': Julius learns to see the memories of the era he lived with nostalgia instead of sadness.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Some immortals give evidence of their immortality and age, other don't.
* '''Averted''': Julius doesn't give any proof of his immortality.
* '''Enforced''': The writer wants to demonstrate the viewer how old Julius is
* '''Lampshaded''': The immortal may say something like "What, did you think I'd keep something proving I'm a thousand years old lying around where anyone can find it?"
* '''Invoked''': Julius wants to impress his friends with all the old things that he has to prove he is an ancient Roman.
* '''Exploited''': [[Big Bad|Patricius]] uses this to expose Julius as an immortal to the world
* '''Defied''': Julius
* '''Discussed''': "I have a cup used in the Roman Empire, a text written in the year 43, and a table that was common in Roman houses".
* '''Conversed''': [[Genre Savvy]] Characters talk about the trope in a [[Show Within a Show]].
* '''Played For Laughs''': Declarations of immortality are met with flat disbelief or a character who is depicted as very old, but never directly referred to as immortal, does something that suggests they are. Like claiming your place of birth is a prehistoric continent.
* '''Played For Drama''': Julius has to be very careful about
* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': The (normally unintentional) trope is used quite intentionally.
