I’d like to see Prince Harry fight GSP or Daniel Cormier 😂.
That’s it? Lame.
“Transformed into an unforgiving gladiator?” More like transformed into a circus clown 🤦♂️
History channel is being historical and not aliens or swamp people, what happened?
Well he just liked the drama likely of course it would be like bull fighting where the animal is stabbed and half dead already during “competition” bread and circuses etc.
The Senate reminds me quite a bit of the 5 ephors of ancient Sparta, like them, the Senate had the real power of the country and she could overthrow and proclaim new kings and emperors
This Narcissistic Emperor Commodus is the opposite embodiment of his great stoic philosopher father Marcus Aurelius who wrote the book diary not meant to be published The Meditation! Who wrote Amor Fati Love your fate! Memento Mori! Remember death! And your thoughts dyes your soul! K
It irritates me so badly whenever they portray Commodus without a beard.
No wonder Constantine moved the capital. Rome was too oligarchic.
So he wasn’t killed by Maximus in gladiatorial combat😢😂
They weren’t as rich as purported ~
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED??? What we do in lives, echoes in eternity…
Sic semper tyrannis. Thus always to tyrants.

I believe opposite to that fact that they say romans thinking if the emperor be a gladiator put him in low level in reality he show he’s capacity physical and mental
Trump wrestling in the ring basically
O wait…
Hercules was not a god..
🦹♀️
👔🏚🌲🕊
Making his opponents loose on purpose?
So he is basically the General Aladdin of Rome.
And then later these grumpy senators will deal with Caracalla and the boy priest of El Gabal

Better than GOT
Rome was a real powerhouse empire…no wokes
Guy made himself a rock star, probably staged fights, like big time wrestling
Commodus is played by Joaquin phoenix in the classic Ridley Scott film GLADIATOR
No matter how killers they are. I love the bravery how theyve shown to fight for their own faction
His opponents had blunt swords…
Proverbs 12:19 — “Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.”
The man was a cheater, who lived for short moments of victory.
the thumbs up to save the gladiator is actually inaccurate on this documentary. Thumbs down to save, thumbs up to kill.
They got it wrong, Commodus was killed by General Russel Crowe
I read that Commodus’s mother was advised to bathe in slain gladiator blood when she was pregnant with him.
I love how the senate has modern day fades and buzz cuts. Rlly adds to immersion
Why are they talking about gladiators in a negative way ? I thought they were the athletes and celebrities of their time.
That actor looks like such a weak guy 😂😂
The History Channel, as wildly inaccurate as ever.
In reality, Commodus was killed in a gladiatorial battle against a famed Roman general named Maximus.
Leave the world behind
