Did you know that Commodus, son of the legendary Marcus Aurelius, was the only Roman Emperor to fight as a gladiator? Raised as the "Golden Child" of Rome, Commodus became deluded with godlike fantasies, indulging in drinking and womanizing while neglecting his empire. His obsession with glory led him to the gladiatorial arena, where he fought disabled opponents to feed his ego—all while charging the Roman treasury 25,000 coins per fight! His reckless actions bankrupted the empire and triggered a civil war. Commodus’ reign of madness ended tragically when he was strangled in his bath by a hired wrestler.
