Link is here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTNLuZPi8CITXso9APoa3AA/join Obviously I had to do a video about the historical accuracy about Gladiator 2... obviously. To be exact, it's a video about emperor Macrinus and emperor Caracalla.... and emperor Geta, and emperor Septimius Severus. A star-studded video this one. Obviously the big elephant in the room was — as is always the case — the ethnicity of these emperors. I never understand why people care so much and train to 'claim' people for their side. And I never understood why the cultures with simply tanned skin tones always get left aside? There are people out there who don't fall into a black or white category, and these emperors are all some of these people, so.... To put it in simple terms: Gladiator 2 got all the emperors wrong. They went all the way light for Caracalla and Geta, and all the way dark for Macrinus. Neither is the case for either of these emperors, since Macrinus is of Phoenician and Berber origin, while Septimius Severus, father of Caracalla and Geta, hails from North Africa. But... that being said... I don't think it really matters. What matters more are the things they did — or didn't do — in their lives, and that's.... what we're talking about in this video.
