Commodus (Alan Steel) shows his fighting abilities in URSUS - THE REBEL GLADIATOR (1962)
I like this film. A good combination of Muscle PEPLUM and Drama PEPLUM. In real life, Commodus was a fighter and fought in the arena in gladiatorial combats. He was quite the Emperor. Commodus was played by Christopher Plummer in THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE (1964), and by Joaquin Phoenix in GLADIATOR (2000). They weren't as brawny as Alan Steel though, who, like the other actors, also gave a good performance.

Far better Plummer, or Steel than Phoenix. There's a good bust of Commodus as Hercules.
