The exact plot, while fictional, is based upon a very real Emperor Commodus.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodus

"In the arena, Commodus always won since his opponents always submitted to the emperor. Thus, these public fights would not end in death. Privately, it was his custom to slay his practice opponents.[13] For each appearance in the arena, he charged the city of Rome a million sesterces, straining the Roman economy."

Why he idolizes Commodus is becoming clear now...
