    The immense majority of Italians and Spaniards have nothing in common with ancient Romans. Ironically, an anglo like Crowe has more in common with the ancient Roman aristocrats than the modern ibero-italic descended from middle eastern plebs and slaves.

      Genetically speaking? Northern Italians are genetically similar to Roman of old while southern Italians are more similar to ancient Greeks. Invading cultures barely displaced native Italians can’t say the same for Spaniards

        I can buy that Northern Italians have a continuity with the ancients considering they're almost as developed as their neighbors to the north and thanks to the influx of Lombard blood but Southern Italy? No chance, they might have a Norman whitey here and there but most of them are West Asian shitskins like pic related through and through.

          I’m too lazy to look up the study but it’s true, southern Italians are closer to the Ancient Greek settlers followed by the latins. The ruling class for most invaders was usually a small group Sicilians on average only have 6% North African dna

            Don't worry, it's those ~~*ancient Greek*~~ genes acting up, the rest of your post is just typical Semitic obfuscation of the truth.

            That's a sicilian, a whole other level of racemixing.

            The entirety of the Mediterranean apart for some enclaves is a giant racemixed nightmare.

        north italians are lombards
        lombards are germans lmao
        the last true romans were the swampjews who hid on their little lagoon while Rome got bred out
        to the credit of the swampjews, they never larped as romans unlike gayreeks, russians or germans in the hre

          Not according to genetic testing, Lombards barely made any genetic impact on northern Italians. It’s almost unchanged from ancient Romans.

    At the time, everyone loved him. But it's important to note that your average Italian isn't smart and doesn't think further than their first impression, so when they saw Maximus, they don't think "Russell Crowe, foreign actor" they just see Maximus. Apparently, when Russell Crowe was in Rome after Gladiator came out, in 2000 or so, crowds of Romans were cheering Maximus! Maximus! Maximus!

    Well, it's accurate.

    Italy was ruled by the Ottomans for 700 years. What was left after the reqonceesta was basically just Turk/Arab rape babies. It's a tragedy what happened to Italy. No wonder they're third world today. If it were up to me we'd deport all the mud blood dagos here in the US back to Europe. Or even better, back to Africa.

    LOL they got killed by the wisigoth and huns Romans migrated to Romania, modern italien have nothing to do with Romans and even worst for the spaniards, they were sold to the visigoth and later invaded by arabs anyway LOL!

    I honestly thought gladiator was a well done movie. The casting worked well and whether it was that alone or the makeup involved, but all characters were "in character" in terms of their looks:
    >babyfaced emperor is pale because he's never had to do fieldwork and just lounges in the shadow
    >Maximus is tanned from his time spent outside but still well groomed as a general
    >Proximos skins is old and weathered from all the time spent in the hot provinces

    Add in that Juba wasn't le roman kang but a Numidian and Hagen or whatever was from germania I think it was perfectly cast.
