The people existed, the events didn't really. For one thing Maximus was a brute whom murdered his own wife. Commodus wasn't some sickly sister-fucker, he was a charismatic chad who would dress up as Hercules and fight in the colloseum for fun.

Not really. The opening battle represents a true event, one of the final battles against the Marcomanni and Quadi on the Danube in the 180s AD, and Marcus Aurelius really did to be replaced by the useless, gladiator obsessed Commodus. Everything else in the movie, including the details, is completely wrong and just for Hollywood.

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

Very little of what happened in the opening battle was based on anything historical anyways, so really none of the movie was. Shame Ridley Scott didnt include obscure historical stuff like the gladiator product placement because he felt it would be too corny and wouldnt match the hollywood history.

>>79627903
>gladiator product placement because he felt it would be too corny

He was right. I would have dropped it right there

>>79627656

I thought Maximus was completely fictional. Aurelius had a favored general, but he tried to lead an uprising and was killed by his own men.

As for Commodus, he ruled along side his father for 3 years and, after going nuts much later, he was strangled by his personal trainer and wrestling buddy.

Gladiator is a goofy fucking movie, made by a hack director. Risen (a 2016 movie about Jesus) is more historically accurate than this shit.

>>79627635
And that his son was a psychopath that loved fighting people in the arena (although they were always infirm, crippled, or maimed to give him the advantage) and was eventually murdered by a gladiator in a senatorial plot.

Practically everything else is fiction.

What is it about movies about Rome that feature that sort of light snow, that almost seems to be coming up from the ground. It was even in the King Arthur movie with Clive Owen. Shit is dank as fuck, I'd watch a whole movie/series about the wars at the beginning of Gladiator so long as every scene was snowy and blizzardy.

That is true.

But--

>A nephew of the last Emperor, Constantine XI, Andreas Palaiologos claimed to have inherited the title of Byzantine Emperor. He lived in the Morea until its fall in 1460, then escaped to Rome where he lived under the protection of the Papal States for the remainder of his life. Since the office of emperor had never been technically hereditary, Andreas' claim would have been without merit under Byzantine law. However, the Empire had vanished, and Western states generally followed the Roman-church-sanctioned principles of hereditary sovereignty. Seeking a life in the west, Andreas styled himself Imperator Constantinopolitanus ("Emperor of Constantinople"), and sold his succession rights to both Charles VIII of France and the Catholic Monarchs. However, no one ever invoked the title after Andreas's death.

>Andreas Palaiologos (Ἀνδρέας Παλαιολόγος) was the last claimant of the title of Emperor after the Fall of Constantinople. He was Imperator 'de iure'.

So, a pretender King of France and the King of Spain could still claim to be the true heir of the Roman Emperor?

People tried to kill all jews multiple times in human history and failed.

>>79631753
Even then the current claimant to the purchased titles couldnt necessarily be the same as the current King of Spain or French claimant because since the renaissance those titles have been subject to changes in succession that wouldnt necessarily apply to the inherited claim for rome. Of course its pointless because like the quote says under Byzantine law the claim was meritless from the beginning and would have had to have been enforced by conquest regardless.
