Mona = Island of Man, not Anglesy

Excellent. Except the Roman governor was fighting druids on Anglesy, Wales rather then Mona. The latter never being formally conquered by Rome, allthoug a trade settlement was erected.

Much more interesting. Not only did Leonidas offer to bring armed Helotes, but he is rumoured to have been a supporter for reforms concerning Helotes by granting them some sort of citizenship instead of their traditional status.
There is also another interesting story about Leonidas. When inviting the inhabitants of the Thermopylae region to join him he wrote his message on the sort of cloth that Greeks used to sent invitations for a party.

“Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, that here obedient to there laws we lie”
Another inconsistency. This text can be seen at the original (ancient) monument at Thermopylae in Greece and not on Leonidas tomb. It is a strophe from an Athenian poet.

{EDIT} read: disease in stead of desise.
-
Not entirely correct. The battle of Actium was lost due to the fact that desise had broken out in Antony's camp. He had to miss a large portion of his most experienced sailors and he decided that all was lost. The battle was actually a break-out in which he was victorious. The traditional story is a romantic version of the story that Octavian told the Romans later.
Antony believed that he could regroup in Egypt or depart for India with the treasury. He did indeed start to rebuild his forces and won a battle in the Sinai but Octavian had arrived to soon for him.
Cleopatra then proceded with the plan to move to India and start a new empire with troops and treasure but her plans were prevented by the city of Petra which revolted against her and blocked her escape route.
