No Praetorian would be casually leaning on the back of the praetor's seat in the manner shown. Also, while there were female gladiatorial contests, they were uncommon, and they were always between one gladiatrix and another, never with a male opponent.
The Romans were widely skilled. At the end, they were only about a century away from the steam engine. Imagine the Industrial Revolution starting shortly after the time of Christ...
The Romans did not use the thumb up as meaning left him live. It was the thumb DOWN - meaning that the winner put his weapon into the sand (of dirt) and spare the loser. The sign for death was the thumb to the throat meaning kill the loser.
Thank you, I did not know that. You learn something new every day if you're not careful! UPDATE: Hold on a minute. Wikipedia makes it much less clear. Apparently, some guy named Juvenal, in sometime in the second century A.D. (c. 110--127 A.D.) wrote this: "Now they give shows of their own. Thumbs up! Thumbs down! And the killers, spare or slay, and then go back to concessions for private privies." While it is clear that the thumb was involved, the precise type of gesture described by the phrase and its meaning are unclear in the historical and literary record." And a classical studies professor named Anthony Corbeill, who extensively studied the practice, concluded that thumbs up was a signal to kill the gladiator, while "a closed fist with a wraparound thumb" meant to spare his life.
WTF, a woman gladiator wearing a bra that wasn't invented till, According to magazine, in 1889 Herminie Cadolle of France invented the first modern bra. It appeared in a corset catalogue as a two-piece undergarment, which she originally called the , and later (or "the well-being"). Her garment effectively cut the traditional corset in two: The lower part was a corset for the waist and the upper part supported the breasts with shoulder straps. Her description reads "designed to sustain the bosom and supported by the shoulders." She patented her invention and showed it at the Great Exhibition of 1889. The company, still family-owned, claims today that Herminie "freed women by inventing the first Bra." By 1905, the upper half was sold separately as a , the name by which bras are still known in France. She also introduced the use of "rubber thread" or elastic.
What a cheesy lowbrow production. Saw it when in my teens on tv & thought the exact same way back then. A Smellywood budget product, [B] would be a High mark f this flick.
you don't seem to understand that Gladiators were prized possessions and a source of wealth due to betting. If an Emperor killed a Gladiator unjustly there'd be riots coz crowds adulated the Gladiators like some in USA adulate Sports Stars today & many powerful men pissed off as they lost potential future winnings and Owner pissed from losing his Investment.
Woah. You've insulted the King of Thailand. Don't visit there, or you may be jailed and even sacrificed -- the King may do that thing with his thumb, too.
Were these actors full of "downers"? I have seen better acting with those who were sleeping. If you want better "Sword and Sandal" movies, try seeing "Ben Hur" and "Quo Vadis".
@@paleo704 did you get my reply? I told him it was made in 1979 because he said it looks like it was in the 70s but he didnt thought it was made in the 70s. So that's right to tell the year of this movie.
Of course, there's no cents because that isn't a system based on 100 fractional units. The Romans had the libra for its currency using metals of various weights, divided into fractional units of 12 or 60. That's why we have 12 troy ounces per troy pound, 24 hours/day, 60 minutes/hour, 60 seconds/minutes, 360 degrees/cycle, etc. The concept in currency continued by the British with its £sd system until decimalized in 1971. The Americans moved away from £sd to dollars and cents shortly after its founding, with $1 equal to 100¢.

Favourite Caligula of all time John Hurt in I Claudius. The scene when he realised it was Jesus who was the Son of God and not him is priceless.
The Gladiator segment is from GOLIATH AGAINST THE GIANTS, 1961, starring Brad Hercules Harris.
"Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?"
I'm stunned with the amazing historical accuracy of these films, it's almost as if the audience were actually there.
It’s like you pressed the red button
In Ancient Rome the thumbs down meant let them live, thumbs up meant sent to the afterworld. So that's not accurate.
@@ravenshadowz2343 The thumbs-up motion was like a upward stroke to the gut.
@@sneadh1, either way they went to the afterworld. :)
@ravenshadowz2343: Thumb down meant to stick the sword into the ground, sparing the fallen. Thumb up and across the throat meant no mercy.
Better than GLADIATOR II, change my mind! Amazing movie.
Absolute pinnacle of filmmaking.

I hate to disappoint all of you historians but I don't think that this was a documentary.
Caligula sister's face so lovely on this film,I love it that white skin.
Her hair style looks like the twentieth century Bob. Did they have that in Ancient Rome?
2:48 , had not realized the Romans were so skilled at red brick work.
The Romans were widely skilled. At the end, they were only about a century away from the steam engine.

do you realize how many roman buildings are still standing? its amazing!
Many Roman structures used this particular brick size.
@@bingola45 If only they had hired Hero of Alexandria, Egypt, about 50 A.D., or Vitruvius, a century earlier.

The real Caligula would have demanded a "Lewinski".
He demanded a Bobbit.
and splash out on a new dress/toga for her lol... splash on more like.
Caligula -the viper of Rome. What a sick title.
Bad movies are also entertaining in their own way.
Definite candidate for a MST 3K feature.
awesome movie.
Exactly, my cousin was there👍💖👍
How'd this miss "Mystery Science Theater 3000"?
Caligula is a true feminist 👍
1:29 what is it with old movies, where a man attempts to strangle someone and grabs their shoulders but not the neck.
Actors didn't have a real fight coach.
This is fantastic, I like this movie

@ It does matter. Because in modern times we have misinterpreted the thumb signals to mean the opposite. Kind of like the word "moot."
I thought it was the thumb pointing to the heart; but maybe I'm wrong.
I've seen bloodier fights down the pub.
It's cool that everybody had blow dryers back then.

It was funny enough. As per usual, Malcolm's in the middle? Also, Claudia Jennings is glaringly absent from this version.
In the middle.
Actually thete were girl gladiators; they found a liad of them in a tomb on London.
Yes, but they were never paired against male opponents.

Aw! Swizz after he won the knock out round the next was the round Robin
The movie is not as shabby as the real Rome!
Well....I was going to say "this sucks," but it quite literally doesn't anymore since she cut it off....
Why are two movies cut together like this?
oh, yeah. uh-huh.
I happen to know this isn't the real footage of the fight at all.
I have a friend named Biggus Dickus
That is the other Caligula movie.
I have one called Roderick!
I have one named Flaccus Deflatus.
@@chris_ackroyd Full name Mike Roderick?
the subtext in this scene is genuinely so uncomfortable help
stupid.. there are so many things that didn't happened, but it was true that caligula was absolutely out of his mind
...let him receive.the same shit ! ☝️💀💀💀
" Are you not entertained" ?
Lol
Spaghetti and meatballs for dinner then?
They used “acres” as measurements in Rome?
Yes
They also didn't speak English. I'm shocked!
BETTER THAN THE CALIG MOVIE

Look more like pasties than a bra but I think her opponent could of used a bra for his man boobs.
Look the roman mosaics of Piazza Armerina (Sicily).

Not enough Caligulaing going on in this clip. This is TV pap for middlebrow minds.
Of course, this is nonsense Gladiators were far too valuable to be killed willy-nilly.
Well, Calligula was quite hated for a reason...
You don't seem to understand how slavery works nor the excesses of the rich.
