This gives Maximus a major role to play inGladiator 2without physically being present.
One of the most intriguingreferences to Maximus inGladiator 2comes with a wall within the gladiator compound.
Names of several fighters can be seen, butLucius takes notice of one name that has been crossed out.
It’s later confirmed by the doctor Ravi that the original name in this spot was Maximus.
However,Gladiator 2doesn’t fully explain the reason why this was done in the years afterGladiator.
Institutingdamnatio memoriaefor Maximus would have been one way to do this.
This would include removing his name from what effectively acts as the gladiator’s wall of honor.
The existence of this secret site would not rule out the chance ofdamnatio memoriaeeither.
