Totally. Unlike that universally recognised fable about the rise of Macrinus which is currently doing tens of millions at the box office.

The actual historical Macrinus was not Numidian, of course, but Commodus wasn’t killed in the arena either so what are we even arguing about

In the script she is an unofficial slave of Macrinus, as her father owes Macrinus huge debts. Macrinus has, since she was 14, used her for his own sexual gratification, pimps her out to Geta and Caracalla, and finally pimps her out to Lucius - he wants her to get Lucius to spill his secrets

Watching Gladiator II last night brought me very good memories of my The Wicked + The Divine issue. Particularly the moment Acacius returns to Rome, the Emperors' madness or Macrinus' fate. You can't have a good Roman story without hitting this kind of stuff.

Haven’t seen it yet, but from what I understand, his character Macrinus is implied to be Numidian.
Stuff like this vindicates me calling cap on the idea that white guys actually think about Rome. I did not forget the way they lost their shit about BBC depicting Black soldiers at Hadrian’s Wall
