The historical mistakes are a matter of Elizabethan stage conventions. When the conspirators meet at Brutus' home, the clock strikes; when the meeting ends, it strikes again, so the audience knows how much time the meeting took, even though it took only eight to ten minutes of stage time. It shows the passage of time by the chiming clock, but, historically, mechanical clocks were not invented until over five hundred years later. This is an anachronism.
