Going by Tarantino's mentality behind Joker 2, I would say that Ridley Scott is the real gladiator in this movie fighting against historians.
It's not that I take the side of this historian but sharks in the Colosseum are just ridiculous: how would they transport sharks to the Colosseum and keep them alive? How would they transport the seawater?
It would have been more plausible and entertaining if he brought samurais to the Colosseum.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
