Commodus was a Roman Emperor who inherited the throne from his esteemed father, Marcus Aurelius. He is infamous for his erratic and tyrannical behavior, abandoning state affairs for a life of luxury and a bizarre obsession with gladiatorial combat, even participating in the arena himself while styling himself as Hercules. His reign marked a significant decline in Roman stability and ultimately ended with his assassination.Please subscribe here. / @peopleprofiles Our second channel. / @dynasticprofiles Follow us on Spotify. https://open.spotify.com/show/7fKALbr...Support us on Patreon / thepeopleprofiles Follow us on Twitter. / tpprofiles Thanks for watching!
