History-not
I can't stop watching this film, the battle scene in the beginning and the fights in the arena. However, Marcus Aurelius willed the empire to his son Commodus which broke an eighty year tradition of adopting someone capable. Commodus, who actually did train and fight in the arena, was later assassinated and replaced by a general.
