Gladiator: "Fidelitas et Virtus". Russell Crowe is the symbol of Spartacus?

We say Spartacus, we mean gladiator; we say gladiator, we mean Spartacus.
That's not how it's done. When, at the beginning of the 20th century, Lenin and Lunacharsky were planning to erect in Moscow a monument to the famous slave who rebelled against Roman tyranny, when the premiere of a film starring Nikolai Deynar was taking place in Kiev, and when in Tashkent writer Vasily Yang was rewriting in all seriousness Giovagnoli's novel, removing the love line and turning the rebel into almost a communist - the word "Spartacus" was flying above the enthusiastic crowd of Soviet soccer fans as a symbol of the world revolution.

At the beginning of the 21st century the situation changed somewhat. The world revolution was forgotten. Slaves and proletarians were no longer in reverence. The salaries of top club footballers became comparable to the Roman patricians. And the red cat, the mascot of the Spartacus soccer club, resembled a well-fed and happy Garfield from a popular American cartoon. Although in ancient Rome this member of the feline family was said to symbolize something masculine. But when the cat coincided with the period of Spartak's failures, it became clear: the mascot had to be changed. Preferably with something heroic.

And now let's remember which character became the embodiment of courage and honor, dignity and valor, loyalty and strength (Fidelitas et Virtus) - in the first decade of the third millennium? To what music did the girls cry, clinging to the shoulders of the tough guys? Who did the children in the courtyards play? The Oscar-winning Gladiator starring Russell Crowe! This fighter even touched the ground before a fight, like many soccer players touch the lawn!

The first time Gladiator-Mascot was spotted in the Spartak stands in the 2012/13 season. Not to say that the mascot was immediately magical. Fourth place in the league, relegation at the 1/8 stage from the Cup, setbacks in international tournaments. For several years, the Gladiator retreated into the shadows. Just like General Maximus, who was enslaved.

His finest hour came in 2016/2017. Under the Italian Massimo Carrere. "Spartak" match by match was gaining momentum. On July 30 before the home game against Volga, journalists managed to lift the Gladiator's helmet in front of the raging stadium and find under it... a man named Maxim! A lawyer by training and a Spartak fan by life was encouraging his favorite team at the edge of the field. A stubborn battle with Volga ended in a hard-fought 2-1 win for the Red-Whites. And at the end of all the battles this year Spartak, after a 16-year break, won the gold medals of the Championship of Russia and the Super Cup.

Latin and its influence on other languages

The oldest records in Latin date back to the sixth century B.C. In the fifth century BC, Latin was one of the Italian languages of central Italy, the region of Lazio, the seat of Rome.
Later, the Roman Empire began to expand rapidly and conquered Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. After a while, all regions of the empire began to use Latin as the language of law. Later it came to be used in everyday life as well.

The best-known first examples of Latin literature are the Latin translations of Greek plays and Cato's manuals on farming, which date from 150 B.C.

The classical Latin used in the early works of Latin literature was quite different from the colloquial language, which was considered vulgar Latin.

Over time, the "vulgar" version of Latin became increasingly different from the literary language and was gradually replaced by more sonorous languages (Italian, Portuguese, French, Spanish, Romanian, Catalan, and others).

With the collapse of the Roman Empire in 476, Latin was used as a literary language in Central and Western Europe. Then a great deal of medieval literature in Latin arose, written in a variety of styles-from unpretentious sermons and sayings to scholarly works of composition.

Throughout the fifteenth century Latin gradually lost its dominant title as the primary language of religion and science in Europe. In one way or another it began to be supplanted by local European languages derived from Latin.

The current Latin language was used in the Roman Catholic churches until the middle of the 20th century, and today is used in the Vatican State, where it is one of the official languages. Latin words are also used in medicine, law, biology, paleontology, and other sciences.

Ultimately, Latin, together with Ancient Greek, has been the basis for the creation of an international, social, scientific, and political system of terms from past to present times.

In the Russian Empire until 1809 Latin was considered the official language of the works of the Imperial Academy of Sciences. Until 1917 Latin was taught and studied as a subject in all gymnasiums of Russia.
