While Commodus was generally popular with the army and the lower classes, he alienated the upper class, leading to a series of plots against him.
He was little interested in public affairs, preferring the thearte, arena and his private life, leaving administration to appointees who abused their positions, with the odium flowing to Commodus.
This included alienation of the populace over a food shortage in Rome and then a fire which devastated parts of the city. He responded with obsessive self aggrandisement which solved nothing and accelerated the conspircies to dispose of him, one of which was successful. The Senate then declared him a public enemy.
He had made himself unbearable persecuting members of the Senate. Deranged, he decided to appear in public as Hercules in the gladatorial arena. This was the final straw, and on the eve of this appearance, his ministers had him strangled in his bath by an athlete called Narcissus (probably arranged by his concubine Marcia and chamberlain Eclectus).
Commodus died on December 31, 192 at the age of 31.
He Terrorized His Own People.
Commodus died in the year 192.
There really was a Roman emperor named Marcus Aurelius, and he had a son named Commodus, who succeeded him. In contrast to the movie, Marcus named Commodus his successor, rather than Maximus. However, some historians suspect Commodus did have a hand in his father's death. Commodus did not die in the arena. He was killed by a wrestler. After Commodus' death, Rome did not return to a republic as suggested in the movie. General Maximus Decimus Meridius is a fictitious character. There was a general named Avidius Cassius, who fought in the campaign depicted in the film and, upon hearing of Marcus' death, declared himself emperor of Rome. However, his own soldiers assassinated him. Later in Roman history, there was a general named Maximus, who appears to have had revolutionary ideas. Commodus really did have a sister named Lucilla, and, as depicted in the movie, she hated him. Lucilla was married to the co-emperor, Lucius Verus. Lucilla plotted to have Commodus assassinated, but Commodus had her exiled for the plot and later executed. So, unlike what happened in the movie, Commodus outlived his sister. It was another sister, not Lucilla, that Commodus was rumored to have had sexual relations. The tattoo on Maximus' arm reads, "SPQR." The letters relate to an often-used Latin phrase, Senatus Populusque Romanus, which means "the Senate and People of Rome." However, it is highly unlikely a Roman general would have such a tattoo, as tattoos were worn by foreigners and lower-class citizens.No it is not Maximus wasn't a real general at the time and Marcus didn't think of Commodus as being unfit to rule.
