When Maximus is admiring the small bird before it flies away, then he remembers that war is afoot. That's when we get a great look at Maximus the ordinary man, as opposed to the the soldier and general.

A soldier preparing for war who takes time to admire the beauty of nature. I like that scene too because it shows us his humanity: that he may be a great warrior who has killed many men but he is also not barbaric or unfeeling.
