Gladiator: What Happened To Every Historical Character In Real Life
Ridley Scott's Gladiator (2000) is a Roman historical epic, considered to be one of Scott's directorial movie masterpieces. The film stars Russell Crowe as General Maximus Decimus Meridius, who is forced into the life of a gladiator after his family is murdered by the Emperor's son, Commodus. The film is based on real historical events, but like any film of this genre, some historical deviation had to occur in order to allow for artistic license.
