The TRAILER of the film Gladiator II, which will be released in the autumn, already shows in less than three minutes an error or a historical license.

Ridley Scott's film celebrates a naumaki or naval battle at the Colosseum. The expensive show was held three times in the Roman amphitheater, but at the time when the film is located (s. 161-169) it was impossible for the playing field to fill with water, a few decades before Domiziano (c. 91-96) Commissioned refurbishment works in the Colosseum.

The emperor had sent to build a network of underground galleries that were directly attached to the sand by several points. Since then they could no longer be presented with any shipwreck.
