The old emperor Marco Aurelius, who won the last war, knew that man was about to die, and began to reflect on his life. 20 years, only 4 years without war, thinking that he was just giving them war, but he also knew that victory in this war was what Rome wanted. He wanted to restore the republic, but he knew that the republic was very fragile and Roman politics was corrupt, so he hoped that the general Maximus, who had not been corrupted by politics, would be an absolute appealing force in the army to replace him and protect Rome and the republic for him. . He is a philosopher. He knows the political reality of Rome and the sensibility and ignorance of the people. He has no choice but to obey them, but he loves them, so he wants to rebuild the republic. This is a helplessness belonging to the monarch.
Commodore, the son of the old emperor Marco Aurelius, was not valued by Marco Aurelius because of his cruel character and was not selected as heir to the throne. But it was precisely because of his cruel heart that he killed the old emperor and usurped the throne when he learned that he had not been selected as the emperor. He was ambitious and brutal. He resumed the gladiatorial fight cancelled by the reign of the old emperor, and held a gladiatorial fight in Rome to commemorate the old emperor. Hehe, it's really funny. But this is also why he realized that the Romans like victory, battle, and heroes, and he wanted to win the love of the Roman people and establish a monarchy.
Perhaps because he was not appreciated by the old emperor since he was a child, or because the old emperor appreciated Maximus too much, or Maximus was too brave, Commode was somewhat inferior and cowardly, especially when he met Maxim again in the Colosseum. S. After Maximus gained the support of the Roman people, he wanted to execute Maximus. After knowing that his beloved sister had betrayed him, he became even more angry. Finally, after he inserted a poisoned arrow behind Maximus, he and Mark Sims fought in the Colosseum, but was defeated in the end.
Commodore, a typical image of a tyrant. If you are cruel, you can kill your father and usurp the throne yourself; lack ethics and like your own sister; understand the human nature of the people, use gladiatorial fights to please the people and paralyze the people; plunder the economy, regardless of economic development, sell stored food for gladiatorial celebrations; control the power of the imperial guard , Control the power of life and death, and regard human life as a must.
Maximus, the great general of the Roman Empire, was brave and heroic, and won the support of the army. He fought for Rome and Marco Aurelius, and he also fought for returning home. After the final battle, he decided to go home and farm. But Marco Aurelius decided to hand the empire into his hands, but Commodus ordered the killing of his wife and children after the usurpation. Although he was saved from death, he was demoted to slavery and trained as a gladiator. He entered the Roman gladiatorial festival and won the love of the people. He also used this to resist Commode, and finally, after being exposed to the failure of absconding and conspiracy, he was inserted into the back with a poisonous arrow and killed Commode in the arena.
Maximus, an epic Roman hero. Brave and good at fighting, with great achievements, support the emperor, and fight for Rome; at the same time, he is caring and loves his subordinates. After the victory, he patrols the wounded soldiers, loves his family, loves his wife, and his son. After the victory at the last stop, he wants to remove his armour and return to the field and go back. Go to see the family. After the old emperor was murdered, after he was sentenced to death to escape, after his wife and children were killed, after being demoted to slavery, after failing to abscond, after being stabbed into a poisoned arrow, he was killed in the arena The new emperor Commodore died.
