Commodus was known as a "Gladiator Emperor", routinely appearing in the arena to take down wild animals. He charged Rome an exorbitant amount of money for each appearance, which eventually devalued Roman coins, and led to the fall of Rome. He would often take people with missing limbs or other disabilities into the arena, tie them together, and club them to death. Initially revered for his hunting and combat prowess, the populace turned against him.
