<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 4439672, member: 87200&quot;]I had the same reaction as I saw The Fall of the Roman Empire on TV one Saturday afternoon as a teenager. The Stephen Boyd character plays a role similar to Maximus, e.g, respected general of Marcus Aurelius. But in the movie, Aurelius is killed by eating poisoned fruit (not accurate historically). If I recall the scene between Boyd and Commodus, played by Christopher Plummer, where they fight to the death in the arena, the battling duo is surrounded by soldiers who build a shield wall, just like in Gladiator. The only line I can remember was when Plummer said,&quot;If you listen carefully, you can hear the gods laughing.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway that was&nbsp; years and years ago and I only saw that movie once, whereas I saw Gladiator in the theatre four times.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/8/85/CommodusChristopherPlummer.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140724202846" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
