More true to history than Gladiator; it gives the auction of the Empire. BTW Aerelius wasn't as good as Nerva or Trajanus - he never swore not to kill a senator without due trial by his peers and he reverted to hereditary succession making Commodus and his twin brother Ceasars at 4 jears. Marcus never planned to not give Commodus the succession.
Man, talk about a movie that could use a facelift. Don't get me wrong, I love this move but it could use some modern technological and scholarly touch-ups.

Great stuff. The only thing I don't like about this film is the ending, but of course there isn't much the film makers could do about that.
