How can historical Rome differ from Roman history or the history of Rome ?"Historical" is the adjective form of HISTORY.
Your personal definition is sheer nonsense- you think Gladiator is more realistic but you cannot justify that opinion with a single fact.
"For instance, only those with a fairly advanced knowledge of ancient Rome would be aware that the retractable awnings depicted on the coliseum are in fact historically accurate."
This is a recent hypothesis- and you know that too. The actual mechanism is unknown- and there is only one fresco (in Pompeii I think) that depicts an awning. At the time Kubrick made Spartacus- this was not known.
Given that Gladiator fucks up on ALL MAJOR historical facts- all you are left with are the tiniest of details.
"One of the most impressive aspects of Gladiator to me are those details, which anyone who has studied the lifestyles and culture of ancient Rome should appreciate, at least from a historical context."
Name these details Auph- and how are they more accurate than in Spartacus ?
You can't- because they're not.
You like Gladiator- leave it at that instead of being silly about it.
