The Gladiator’s Tomb: The Video

The BBC has provided a video of the tomb of Marcus Nonius Macrinus, the Roman general who served under Emperor Marcus Aurelius during a period of expansion of the Roman Empire.

The life and work of Marcus Nonius Macrinus inspired the part for the main character in the Oscar-winning film “Gladiator” played by Russell Crowe.
