In real life, the Emperor Marcus Aurilias was one of the best humans ever. There are many, many u tubes on him with many , many quotes. He had all the power, yet put the people first.

This is Rome. They did not hang people. They nailed you to the cross.
@Stogie2112Ай бұрын
The Romans did hang or strangle criminals, often for treason. Death by "laqueus", or a noose. Roman punishments were diverse and depended on one's social status. Fines, whippings, exile, enslavement, drownings, beheadings, being fed to wild animals, etc. Crucifixions were often used for low-class people, non-citizens, rebellious slaves, prisoners of war, et al.

she slapped him because she knew he killed thier father, she then kissed his hand and said hail caesar because, as Maximus said, she is skilled at survival. If she does not show loyalty her and her son's lives are not long for this world, she also knows how vindictive her brother is

Rome was the name of the capital city and the whole empire later. Everyone with citizenship was a Roman, even those from lands conquered by rome. soldiers that came to execute Maximus were emperor personal bodyguards, as for horses he took 2 bc he knew he had to travel; fast and the road to his home in modern Spain was long. He drove horses to death. Romans used to breed special war dogs not that cute like one from the beginning of the movie. Best wishes from poland. Rome never conquered us! ;p but germans did ...briefly.

Maximus visiting the infirmary just shows how much he cares for his men. They had everything for the army, just as now. Back then, food was not in conservation cans, so they needed sheep, horses, cows... There is a video in KZbin about Roman Army logistics which was quite impressive. Winning a war was always about logistics in the first place.

It was common practice to kill an enemy's family so that the son does not grow up and take revenge. and also as a warning to others to obey.

Maximus, being a high-level military man in the Empire, was given an "estate", which consisted of a nice house, many acres of land and servants. Emperors paid their high-ranking military officers this way. The tradition continued in Europe for centuries, with Kings and Queens granting large estates to their loyal knights and military leaders. The European noble class consisted of wealthy families, whose grand estates were acquired many generations in the past.

He took two horses because he knew he was going to run them to death 😢 there is a reason horse races are less than two miles. They can't run like in the old western movies 😊

22:54 Yes, she slapped him because she knew. But she also knew her brother was going to be the emperor, and she is a survivor, so she kissed his hand showing that she would accept him as the emperor.

If you want to see more roman gladiators I can recommend the series Spartacus, but it's extremly bloody iirc so if you don't like blood you wont like it :)

The way I understand it, or the way I’ve taken it, is, she slaps him as his sister. I think she has an idea that it might be him. Then she kisses his hand as the new emperor.

All citizens living under the roman empire, regardless their origins, under the law, were consider as roman citizens...Maximus is a Spaniard and also a roman citizen.
@orangewarm1Ай бұрын
the script takes a lot of influence from Anthony Mann's film -- The Fall of the Roman Empire (1964). All the characters are based on real people, but some are from different periods of Roman history. Commodus and Lucilla were Marcus Aurelius' children. Commodus was a sick man in real life. Some of the quotes come straight from Meditations. there is some influence from Spartacus (1960) as well.

Russell Crowe did all his own stunts and was an expert horseman. Despite that, the horse he was on spooked and backed into branches of a tree, causing the wounds you see on his face after the battle scene. The director decided to use the wounds instead of covering them up.

The 2 horses- he took 2 so he could ride one to extreme exhaustion/death, then continue on the other that hadn’t been carrying him so he could go as fast as possible. The second horse also barely made it.

Out of curiosity, did you not hear or learn of Rome in your younger years? It this information not taught where you are from? I ask because much of the things you ask about ancient Rome is fairly common knowledge.
