General Maximus wins the battle in Germania (Marcomannic Wars), Marcus Aurelius is murdered by his son Commodus (after telling him that he is unfit to rule and Maximus would be the emperor to save Rome from corruption). Commodus becomes emperor and ask Maximus for his loyalty.

Maximus is arrested and sentenced to death upon his refusal. He killed his captors and his family is murdered.

Maximus fights in local tournament and in the Colosseum. He win the fight against an undefeated Gladiator. He spares his opponent's life despite Commodus's order to kill the loser and earns the name "Maximus the Merciful"

To win the crowd back, Commodus challenges Maximus to a duel in the Colosseum. Maximus kills Commodus and asks for political reforms, for his gladiator allies to be freed, and for Senator Gracchus to be reinstated before dying.

**************************************

The character of Maximus is fictional but had a similar career and personality traits to Claudius Pompeianus who married Marcus' daughter Lucila following the death of Lucius Verus. It is believed Marcus may have wanted Pompeianus to succeed him as Caesar in preference to Commodus but was turned down.

Maximus have similar name with Marcus Valerius Maximianus (the general of Marcomannic Wars)
