Actor Russell Crowe visited the Colosseum in Rome with his kids and paid tribute to one of his most famous films, Gladiator.

On July 18, the 58-year-old star took to his Twitter handle to share photos of his family holiday. One of the photos is a selfie of the actor with his two children and his 31-year-old girlfriend, Britney Theriot.

Russell Crowe is currently on a family holiday visiting several monuments in the Italian capital.

Fans and admirers were especially excited to see Crowe at the Colosseum because of his 2000's film Gladiator, in which he starred opposite Connie Nelson, Joaquin Phoenix and Oliver Reed.

Directed by Ridley Scott, the film follows the story of a Roman military general, Maximus Decimus Meridius, who is betrayed by the emperor's son and seeks revenge for the murder of his family.

For his role in the film, Russell Crowe won an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role in 2001.
