because some of the historicals catagories have been filled with entries that are the wrong era's, as well as duplicates.
take for example the current 'first empires' voting..
Shaolin warrior monks aren't a first empires era thing, they don't exist until about the 14th century AD (the monastaries existed since the 2nd century AD, but the warrior monk aspect did not appear until the 14th century in the wake of the damage to the monastaries in the Red Turban Rebellion. and the warrior monk tradition would effectively end with the fall of mperial china and rise of the Republic of china in the 1900's.) so even if you focus on the pacifistic earlier centuries, it still doesn't qualify as a first empires catagory. (though to be honest, given it is likely people are thinking of media depictions from Wuxia and action films, they'd probably fit just as well in the pulp category.)
mycenean heavy infantry is listed three times, counting the "trojan war infantry" listing. (the trojan war was Mycenean greeks against the Hittite aligned city of troy)
unless the submitter used an incorrect terminology, "hellenistic cataphracts" aren't a thing till the 2nd century AD so belong in the 'decline and fall' category, as part of the Eastern Roman Empire/early Byzantines. cataphracts wouldn't really catch on in the greek half of the roman empire till after the 3rd century though.
The Chinese Parade Dragon is a mostly modern thing in its recognizeble form, so really should be in the pulp catagory. there have been dragon parades since the 4th centry AD, but the recognizable form from modern times doesn't start showing up till the 15th century as part of street plays, and didn't become common or popular until the 1800's. combined with the fact that it is largely a non-combat element, it fits better into Pulp or the digital catalog than first empires.
