Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ridley Scott's Gladiator culminates in an epic battle between Maximus and Commodus in the arena, with the former general eventually triumphing – yet his victory is only possible after a surprising betrayal with real historical roots. Despite vividly bringing the world of Ancient Rome to life, Gladiator plays fast and loose with history.
Commodus' Praetorians Betraying Him Reflects Real History After Maximus disarms Commodus, the panicked emperor begs his assembled guards for a new sword. However, at the command of Quintus – Maximus' former friend, the soldiers refuse, sheathing their weapons instead. At first glance, this betrayal seems bizarre, as it seems much more likely that the soldiers would listen to their emperor ahead of their commander.
