In the medieval period, artists often depicted the crucifixion of Jesus Christ with the Romans wearing plate armor that would not be invented for 1400 years after the event of the crucifixion. This is because the artists of the time did not know what Roman armor looked like. In the Morgan Bible, men are depicted with "Messers" which are literally just upscaled cheese knives, because the monks who illustrated it had no idea what a messer was, except that "messer" means knife in German, so they figured it was just a giant knife, and the only knife they had handy was a goofy looking cheese knife.

Americans subconsciously sense that Jews, politicians, and white liberal hollywood types are their aristocracy. They don't know what a real aristocracy is, they have never experienced it, and they have no way to understand it except by applying what they already know about the elite in their own society to the older idea. This is why the nobility of the ancient world is portrayed by Americans as venal, weak, timid and homosexual--because that is what the nobility of their world is.
