Demetrius I seems to have conquered the Kabul valley, Arachosia and perhaps Gandhara ; he struck no Indian coins, so either his conquests did not penetrate that far into India or he died before he could consolidate them.

On his coins, Demetrius I always carries the elephant-helmet worn by Alexander, which seems to be a token of his Indian conquests.

After the death of Demetrius, the Bactrian kings Pantaleon and Agathocles struck the first bilingual coins with Indian inscriptions found as far east as Taxila so in their time ( c. 185 – 170 BC ) the Bactrian kingdom seems to have included Gandhara.

When the Emperor calls for Chiron and Demetrius, Titus reveals that they have been baked in the pie Tamora has just been eating.

Written in prose rather than blank verse, changes to the text include the rape of Lavinia being Tamora's idea instead of Aaron's ; the removal of Marcus ; Titus does not kill his son ; he does not have his hand amputated ; Chiron is much more subservient to Demetrius ; Aaron is more philosophical, trying to find meaning in his acts of evil rather than simply revelling in them ; Titus does not die at the end, nor does Tamora, although the play ends with Titus ordering the deaths of Tamora and Aaron.
