Where in Roman history does the Gladiator movie sit?
ok the old man at the start of the movies was emperor at macus aruleius who reigned from 160 – 180 and was general agreed to good emperor and philosopher you can still read his book his son commodus was the next emperor 180 – 192 he was bad emperor was indeed obessed by the game he assinated by wreastler while he watched the games (he had been druged first) there then followed one of more shameful moment of roman history where empire was auctioned of by guard to highest bidder needless to say the winner did not enjoy the empire for after some fighting the empire was rule the emperor septimus servus till about 216 he was another short live dynastry hewas creul as he was effective and so it goes on. Nero was totally different era he reigned from 54 – 68 if you want to know who he parent were look to answer to the question was nero the spawn of satan!
