Maximus Decimus may have been a fictional character created for the movie Gladiator, but that doesn't mean there's not a hint of truth to his story. With multiple key similarities to a man named Tiberius Claudius Pompeianus, one could argue that part of Maximus was historically accurate. The question: how much?I'll be posting another short soon about Lucius Verus, the boy from Gladiator and star of Gladiator 2.
