Maximus dies of his wounds after killing Commodus in a duel, with Lucilla, the daughter of Marcus, promising to restore the Republic.
Good movie. Surprisingly accurate in many details with the exception of the main character Maximus who is fictional. And of course, in reality, Commodus is strangled to death in his bathtub, which was a bit less dramatic than being killed in the Colosseum.
