There was the one episode strongly referencing Christ, the Son, in which Uhuru at the end says something like Imagine what it would be like to be there, to see that actually happening again. Was that the episode where the situation was like Earth but if the Roman Empire hadn't fallen? That episode bugged me because the plot point relied on confusion between sun and son, which would only take place in some Germanic languages but not in Latin.

Yes that’s the one.
Interesting point about the Son/sun language dichotomy. That was the real plot twist at the end, kind of surprising (and a bit of welcome warmth), given the series’ staunch, cold secularism.

"Was that the episode where the situation was like Earth but if the Roman Empire hadn't fallen?

That episode was titled, "Bread and Circuses." Coincidental to it's references to Imperial Rome, its original broadcast date was on the Ides of March, 1968.
