“Commodus was also known for fighting exotic animals in the arena, often to
the horror of the Roman people. According to Gibbon, Commodus once killed
100 lions in a single day. Later, he decapitated a running ostrich with a
specially designed dart and afterwards carried the bleeding head of the dead
bird and his sword over to the section where the Senators sat and gesticulated as
though they were next. Dio notes that the targeted senators actually found this
more ridiculous than frightening, and chewed on laurel leaves to conceal their
laughter. On another occasion, Commodus killed three elephants on the floor of
the arena by himself. Finally, Commodus killed a giraffe, which was considered
to be a strange and helpless beast.” (32) Commodus also had an inferiority
complex for he could never measure up to his learned philosopher-king father,
Marcus Aurelius. Likewise, the Columbia Law School dropout TR knows that
he can never measure up to American Presidents of the past.
