Contrario a la leyenda libidinosa, como ha sido vista a través del lente rosa de Hollywood, el Giacomo Casanova real no poseía la mandíbula fuerte y cincelada de Heath Ledger, o los penetrantes ojos azules cual lagunas de Richard Chamberlain. Más bien, los retratos del Casanova real muestran un rostro simple, incluso poco memorable, de mandíbula pastosa, nariz prominente, un poco torcida, y ojos saltones y muy juntos. En esencia, aunque ciertamente no era poco atractivo, estaba lejos de ser alguien que llegaría a ser visto como sinónimo de mujeriego.

Constantinopla seguiría siendo la capital del Imperio Bizantino incluso después de que la mitad occidental del Imperio Romano se derrumbara a finales del siglo V.
