Remember seeing this with dad in the theatre when it came out. I must have been 10 or 11. Don't think I'll ever shake the scene of Commodus smothering Marcus Aurelius. Even with it being fictionalized, I remember thinking about this movie the whole time I read Marcus Aurelius's letters in Meditations as an adult.
