In an example of "translation convention", all characters in the movie speak modern languages: English for the most part, but also Italian (Maximus' son), German (the Barbarian chief before the battle) and even Zulu (the ancient Germanic war chant). Russell Crowe even wanted to go one step further, and speak his lines imitating Antonio Banderas' accent, in order to show Maximus' non-Italic origins, but Ridley Scott disapproved the idea.
