Gladiator (2000): A Historical Fever Dream | A.D. HISTORY WATCHES REVIEW
Ridley Scott's epic Gladiator (2000) starring Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix is an era defining film, but as history goes it is totally off the rails. Is it historical fiction? Speculative history? Alternate History? Total bullocks? Does it even matter? As a popcorn epic, Gladiator is only concerned with one question: "Are you not entertained?!"
Yes, it is that time again for another edition of... A.D. History Watches! Sit back and enjoy as Paul and Patrick breakdown a film that can truly be described as a "Rome's Greatest Hits" movie, that throws history to the fields of Elysium.
If you have any movie recommendations for future editions of this ongoing mini-series, leave them down in the comments below!
The First Council of Nicaea in 325AD is perhaps the ecumenical council many people know best, however due to the work of Dan Brown many have strong misconceptions of what ACTUALLY happened there. The First Council of Nicaea was a three month show down between Arius and the Bishop of Alexandria - Saint Alexander of Alexandria - formally called by the newly converted Emperor Constantine. The most important question wrangled with during that meeting was determining the exact divine nature of Jesus. Was Jesus God? Or was he separate from God? It is a point not all of Christianity even agrees upon today.
In our final segment, Patrick discusses with us the first major steps of founding the Gupta Empire on the Indian subcontinent. The Guptas would become an eminent power on the subcontinent for the next three centuries. Moreover, many people consider this Gupta period as the great golden age of Indian civilization. We learn more.

Whether the 18th century or the 21st century, the realities and consequences of revolution are timeless. These are but 13 signatories to the Declaration of Independence - all but forgotten in popular historical memory - who suffered greatly for boldly backing colonial independence. We examine their struggles as a timeless case study in revolution.

How the Roman Emperor Constantine became a Christian, and what happened to him at the Battle of Milvian Bridge is a great historical enigma for all time we seek to solve. We also delve back into China, as it emerges from the chaotic Three Kingdoms period, and into the Jin Dynasty.

As Paul and Patrick kick off the beginning of the A.D. History Podcast season three, they begin by laying down the framework for the upcoming so-called “Crisis of the Third Century” for Rome; examining the incredible rise of Septimius Severus. On the other side of the European-Asian landmass, the poet-general Cao Cao spends this decade predominately on the field of battle. Cao Cao’s ambition to bring the entirety of the former Han domain under his control dominates his decision making, and leading to the formation of the Wei Kingdom.

In our newest installation of A.D. History, we take our first look at the Korean Peninsula during antiquity. Specifically with one of it's own Three Kingdoms kicking up the dust against the standout of all of China's Three Kingdoms - Cao Wei.
For our second segment, Paul takes a foray into exactly who the Sassanid Persians were. As a power that will exist for the next four centuries during our show, it is well due to better understand who they were, how they operated, and how they lived. While it is not easy for modern scholars to answer these very specific questions, we take our best stab to get under the surface of their civilization.

For this episode of the A.D. History Podcast, Paul and Patrick are joined by TGNR’s Founder and Editor-in-Chief (best known as our boss) Kristen E. Strubberg. Together they discuss the reality of Emperor Commodus' mental health; specifically against his popular cultural portrayal. Yes, we are looking at you, Ridley Scott.
Additionally, Patrick in particular explores a question from our recent “Who Wrote the Gospels?” episode: why isn’t there only a single gospel narrative in the New Testament? As opposed to the four that are now the canonical norm? It's a valid question, and one Tatian in this decade proffered a solution for, today known as the Diatessaron. So, what did the single gospel look like? Find out in this newest episode!
