Ancient mosaic of the real Gladiator found
#3
As the mosaic was found at the villa of Commodus and the general public will know him as the mean and nasty Emperor in Gladiator, the mention of the film would obviously come into the press report.
I suppose it is just as well the gladiator was not named Maximus...
and imagine the fuss, if the only letters they could read of his name were
M[.....]us :lol:

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
