This week on the blog: closing thoughts on Gladiator II and how it treats the city of Rome, the Colosseum and gladiators and the Severan dynasty.

In particular, we look at why the real, historical Caracalla is history's crushing rebuttal to this film's own themes.

@bretdevereaux Not sure if you read this site, and not sure if you've already covered this...but the Julius Caesar vs. Shaka Zulu rap battle? They put some effort into describing their military tactics but I don't know how good a job they did.
