sounds like septemus should have given the empire to his wife, many such cases.
I almost thought you were gonna talk about Romulus and Remus
Wrong duel emporers the ones from gladiator 2 were born over 100 years before the Eastern and western Roman Empire split and thus weren’t the sons of commodus
He also butchered cities for no reason at all
I definitely thought this was gonna be about Romulus and Remus, which some people believe to be exaggerated, but still interesting to think that Rome was founded on fratricide
Coincidentally my world history teacher showed a clip of “gladiator” in class today.
To be honest, people glorify Rome too much. It was actually REALLY disfunctional
I still see people defending the Roman Empire as an ideal form of government.
Caracalla was then murdered by one of his own soldiers when taking a leak. Rome almost destroyed itself in the 3rd century CE.
first time you see the actors be whiter than the historical figures 🙄
