I asked Steven L. Sears about this and he replied:

I think that reference was a bit of an "in" joke between Eric and RJ. We had discussed doing an Alexander script a few times and, when Rob wanted to start the Caeser storyline, RJ and I suggested we explore Alexander. But since Rob wanted to do a reworking of Caeser's actual kidnapping of pirates with the Xena twist, that's where we went (and it turned out to be a good idea). But we never shot an Alexander episode or wrote an Alexander script while I was there.
