He was dead from bad wine later that night.

In reality, many gladiators survived defeat if they were judged to have fought well and earned the favour of the crowd. This happened much more often than the gladiator being killed. They would simply raise their forefinger to ask for mercy. Crying or begging probably wouldn't have helped his cause. Edit : I'm getting a lot of responses saying that gladiators were rarely killed because they were valuable. That's true. It doesn't invalidate my point however as their value was linked to their success\popularity. My initial response was strictly in relation to how gladiators faced defeat and the possibility of death

He also read the script from the movie lol

@@robertdeboer1683 You're saying the person in this video wasn't actually facing death or resigned to his fate?

you mean sigma 😂

He should have gotten more recognition for his portrayal, as terrific as his Joker portrayal.

​@@AtomicExtremophileI would say that he did better with Commodus, because he had more to do from the script.

Not only angry, but also quite excited by the violence. Genius portrait of a pervert by Joaquin Phoenix.

Commodus was THE character that made me take notice of the whole "acting" thing when I was a kid and didn't know much about anything. I had seen villains in movies by that time of course, but none quite like this one. Joaquin's Commodus is probably my favourite performance I've ever seen.

Great actor, terrible human being.

He’s already in DS2 as Looking glass knight

Yeah, i can see him calling a big ass tiger in phase two. After spitting his blood out in the cutscene.

It's basically fighting the Looking Glass Knight + Lud and Zallen at the same time

Absolutely

And Maximus is the speedrunner not giving a damn

Yeah, action dies down + they did see the guy cut up the other tiger

​@@stabbityjoe7588 the movie is roughly 20 yrs old, Russell Crowe made this when he was in his early 30s

@@theguileraven7014 like WWE in what way?

I mean, I guess lmao

@@papaparsley7695 well, according to historians (and not pop culture) deaths were very rare and unfavorable. Usually the fight ended when one of the gladiators was unable to fight any longer. Because of that, restraining tactics were very popular, where nets or straight up brute force was used to immobilize the opponent. Like, this scene in particular, where every single audience member wants one of the gladiators to kill another would be as surreal in ancient Rone as it would be surreal in today WWE match for the whole audience to yell to one of the fighters to kill another one.

He won even though his opponent was wearing armor, and he was being attacked by tigers, and got sand thrown in his eyes in the beginning

Yeah I heard 10% of the fights ended in a death.

for the permanent gladiators yes

Plus gladiators where flabby, like having dad bods because all they ate was tons of porridge made with barley and garlic (and probably a lot of bread). And they don't kill each other, just scar each other when fighting just to drop some blood but never murdering each other. Basically medieval WWE, lol.

Gladiators were basically the professional athletes of Rome, including the fame and fortune. Lots of people died in the arenas, but they were prisoners who were sentenced to die that way, not the trained gladiators (most of whom were only slaves on paper, as a legal technicality).

@@alltat yeah, criminals and POWs turned gladiators were either pitted against each other, not against slave gladiators, or became venators against animals

@@wheelingreeling7928 "what are contemporary accounts"?

No, that is a bullshit lie a historian made up. It was typical for them to die when the crowd said they died. Not when the Sponsor could not afford to pay for the games in the first place. A historian looked up prices, and noticed that you paid moree if the gladiator died versus if they lived through the match. This makes sense because the gladiator who is dead needs replaced. But the idea that they could not afford gladiators is wrong. In fact, the Twelve Caesars specifically mentions how Julius Caesar recycled gladiators once the crowd lost favor with them and they would be executed by their opponents. This is because the crowd, not the sponsor who hosted the game like the Emperor, usually were deciding who lived and died. Countless gladiators died, and other historians have even proven this with records, not Revisionist theories that get spouted to discredit Hollywood, and any History with Glory or Bloodshed involved, a rationalist Historians worst enemy.

Most fights were actually not to the death

Gladiatorial fights were waaay closer to the WWE than you might think, there were storylines and surprises. Most fights were just done until someone was on the ground and gladiators were trained to aim for non lethal blows, training a gladiator was expensive after all, even the slave ones. The crowd would almost always chant micio (Mercy!). In the golden days of the empire gladiatorial fights were a wwe show sandwitched between some convoluted hunting shows inside the arena of exotic animals, and military excersices. The actual fights to the death: the executions of criminals, christians, etc, were done relatively quietly during break time, which was just throwing them unarmed against beasts or well equipped executioners. Watching an underfed prisoner get mauled by a tiger gets old fast so they weren't as popular.

@@CassieAngelica Thumbs down was referenced to mean death as the performance of the gladiator at their mercy was too poor to keep alive or if the crowd booed him enough into a frenzy hence the thumbs down for the sake of pleasing the crowd.
