Documentary exploring the real-life events behind Ridley Scott’s film Gladiator. The programme reveals the outlandish behaviour of Commodus, the Roman emperor portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, who competed in public hand-to-hand combat for entertainment and killed several high-ranking senators to maintain control of the empire. The life, culture and intensive training of the gladiators is also examined, and two archaeologists get surprising results when they conduct an experiment to discover the possible attacks and defences used during battle.
