Maximus was a Roman general who led an attack on the Sicilian coast during the Siege of Syracuse.
Biography[]
Maximus was ashore with his troops when he beheld a strange flying machine that had seemingly appeared from nowhere and was laying siege to his warships. Concluding it to be a dragon, he ordered it shot down. During the ensuing battle, the Romans successfully downed what was in fact a World War II-era plane, which crashed into the coastline and was found by Archimedes and his servants. Seeing Indiana Jones and Helena Shaw parachute from the plane, Maximus ran over to where they landed and prepared to kill them, but was shot in the back with an arrow by one of Archimedes' servants.
