“Gladiator II” is set in Ancient Rome and North Africa, but where was the Ridley Scott epic actually filmed? Like the first film, portions were shot in Morocco and Malta, while director Ridley Scott also filmed key scenes in his native England. Here’s where Rome, the Colosseum and the African kingdom of Numidia were created, some on locations used by Scott in previous films. The now long-gone North African kingdom was roughly where Algeria is today. This setting appears to be the final showdown as the Roman army marches to face opposing factions.
