Gladiator - the movie, the history!
Manage episode 339466622 series 2446386
Really thrilled to have Bret Devereaux and Ed Watts on the podcast together. We looked at Gladiator as a film (two thumbs up!) and also unpicking some of the history. Ranging far and wide we covered the battle scenes, gladiators, the role of an emperor and lots, lots more. Ed argues that Commodus was doing okay until stabbed in the back by his sister and Bret gives a masterclass in how not to name a Roman. I lower the tone by bringing the nazis into it.
Bret's superb blog is here.
Ed's latest book is here.
And check out Ed's brilliant YouTube channel.
