Ancient Rome has provided quite a bit of modern western culture's foundation. Considering the sole topic of one of my classes is western culture, what better way to learn about Ancient Rome than by watching Russell Crowe in action, right?

 |
| Ah, yes. Losing one's lover is, of course, a tragedy tantamount with death. |

 |
| Gossip Girl...Gladiator...same same, no? |
