About this listen

Maximus Decimus may have been a fictional character created for the movie Gladiator, but that doesn't mean there's not a hint of truth to his story. With multiple key similarities to a man named Tiberius Claudius Pompeianus, one could argue that part of Maximus was historically accurate. The question: how much?I'll be posting another short soon about Lucius Verus, the boy from Gladiator and star of Gladiator 2. Then, I'll follow that up with my fourth podcast episode about Maximus's love interest, Lucilla herself.#gladiator #gladiatormovie #historicalfigures #historicalfacts #maximusdecimus #romanhistory #history
