I have to write a essay for school about one gladiator character and why the want either a republic/empire. I know Marcus Arelius wants a republic at the end of his life, and I have a few reasons but not alot. What reasons shown in the movie show that marcus wanting a republic? Thank you.

Wow good luck as Marcus Arelius was not a gladiator and every thing in Gladiator is a hodge-podge of Roman history so it probably wouldn’t be a good idea for a paper, although you could pick out certain accurate historical tidbits and focus on them.

Spartacus-the story of a gladiator who leads a revolution of slaves against Rome on the other hand really did happen and would probably make for a better paper.
