My favorite is the clock chiming in Julius Caeser.

What difference does that make? If the author of Shakespeare plays had been in Renaissance Italy, he would have heard clocks chiming. A sea coast in Bohemia is an "anamundism", clocks chiming in early imperial Rome is an anachronism.

Very interesting!

“anamundism”

Related to anamnesis?
