I chose the movie Gladiator (Dir. Ridley Scott, 2000)  for its costume design because of the work put in by Janty Yates in researching not only the clothing worn by the Emperors of 180 AD, but also of the lesser known and far less represented gladiators of this era. Yates won an Oscar in 2001 for her work on Gladiator because of how accurate and complex the clothing was for the time. Yates was especially praised foe her work on Maximus’ clothes and armor as well as a very high level of continuity throughout the film.
