The Metamorphosis of the Bear Child in Rome

The image of Commodus left in history is basically depicted by "Planning" Cassius Dio, who witnessed the child's growth, rule, and death, and then wrote him as a famous fainting monarch , and blame him entirely for the beginning of the decline of the Roman Empire.

The documentary starts from his extravagant life, and then he was carried by his old father Aurelius to the battlefield of the invasion of Germany while lying on the bed of two women. In the middle, he experienced his old mother's derailment and suicide, and his old father's death on the front line. He himself was defenseless. Proclaimed emperor. He really wanted to fulfill his father's last wish, but at this time his bear child characteristics came out:

The old father asked him to continue to expand the territory, and he stopped the war on Germany;

The old father asked him not to believe anyone. He asked the people of the senate to be responsible for allocating land to the soldiers, and the honorary rights were all given to others;

Baby Dior asked him not to be a gladiator, but he didn't, he would fight and cheat, and was finally assassinated by a few people who were fooled by the plan.

Not a history major, just starting from this documentary, to write some personal impressions:

1. Xiaokangkang could have been a good general. In the final analysis of his tragic life, his old father forced him to be emperor, but he did not leave a corresponding think tank to assist him.

2. A gentleman like Xiaokangkang cannot withstand emotional setbacks. He had three major blows in his life: first, the death of his parents; second, the assassination of his sister, although it was unsuccessful, but it also made him realize that the imperial power he did not intend to have made him lose all family affection; third, the most trusted slave friend Betrayed, he found that he didn't even have friendship. Xiaokangkang is different from normal people. In addition to emotions, normal people also want power and status. Just kidding, Xiaokangkang is born with power and status, so he only pursues emotions.

3. The world and future generations are ridiculed for his obsession with gladiators, but don’t forget, it was his old father who first let him play dueling games. It can be seen that it is not a wise move to enroll children in extracurricular classes. , is likely to result in the death of the plaything.

Some scientists (I am skeptical about this clinical result) say that when people are on the verge of death, they will walk a long black road, the road is full of past memories, and the end of the road is a bright, when the light is reached , is the official moment of death.

Curiously, what kind of dark corridor would this famously foolish dwarf xiaokang walk through?
