THE REAL GLADIATOR: The True Story of Maximus Decimus Meridius

THE REAL GLADIATOR: The True Story of Maximus Decimus Meridius
by Sullivan, Tony

1-231130

Discover that fact is not only stranger than fiction, it is often more entertaining. The real history was certainly as much, if not more, treacherous, bloodthirsty, murderous and dramatic than anything the film industry has created. Meet two generals, Pompeianus and Maximianus, who most resemble our film hero General Maximus. Also Lucilla, the sister of Commodus, who in reality married her General, but detested him. The book also focuses on warfare, weapons, and contemporary battles. It will compare the battle and fight scenes in the film with reality from contemporary sources and modern tests and reenactments. Are you not entertained?
