Gladiator
Most people who saw it loved the gladiator. It was attributed as one of the more realistic stories of what life was like in ancient Rome as well as on the frontier of the Empire. The script writers, however, missed the fact that calling Russell Crowe with a nickname, “the Spaniard,” was entirely inaccurate by more than 1,000 years. The term “Spaniard” was invented by the French much later in the 1300s. Crowe’s character was hopping around in gladiator amphitheaters in 180 A.D.
