question for the class: do we think maybe the breastplate Proximo gives Maximus is the one Proximo wore when he was a gladiator? maybe the one he was wearing when Marcus Aurelius freed him?
#refusing to be normal about it either way#it’s in the same room with the wooden sword from marcus so maybe proximo keeps his old mementos up there#and maybe he wanted maximus to have a little piece of what he considered his good luck charm#and!!! if it’s true!!#how special that maximus gets that tiny connection to marcus aurelius#how special that he can still have a subtle tie to his beloved mentor whom he’s trying to avenge#forever obsessed with the way maximus uses his breastplate as (1) a way to honor the people and things he loves#and (2) a statement of his identity to the crowd#unmistakable and memorable enough for people to be obsessed with it#and i always thought it was odd that maximus doesn’t have a symbol of marcus when he adds all the little symbols#but maybe!! the breastplate itself is the symbol of marcus!!!#either way i’m going to go insane about it#maximus beloved i am ensorcelled with everything you do#gladiator#text posts#maximus#maximus decimus meridius#gladiator 2000#russell crowe
