Where Russel Crowe’s Gladiator Marcus Nonius Macrinus’ Tomb Wasn’t Found
I know where Russel Crowe‘s Gladiator Marcus Nonius Macrinus‘ Tomb wasn’t found.
But, first where it was found.
Archaeologists found the 1,800 year old mausoleum on the banks of the River Tiber.
Marcus Nonius Macrinus, was a proconsul in Asia Minor and a favorite of Marcus Aurelius, who ruled as emperor from 161 AD to his death in 180 AD.
Marcus Nonius Macrinus was the basis for Maximus Decimus Meridius in Russel Crowe’s Oscar-winning 200 film Gladiator.
The tomb was found “near the Via Flaminia, one of the arterial roads which led in and out of ancient Rome.”
Where it wasn’t found? In Japan. Duh?!
