Description
Big Screen Rome explores how cinema has reconstructed and reinterpreted the image of Roman antiquity over the past half century. This systematic survey delves into popular films such as Spartacus, Gladiator, and Monty Python's Life of Brian, examining their use of ancient history as commentary on contemporary society. By analysing these films in depth, Big Screen Rome contributes to discussions about the ongoing relevance of classical culture. The book is structured for course use, featuring issues for discussion and analysis, as well as references to further bibliographic resources. Written in an engaging style, this study provides a unique perspective on the role of cinema in shaping our understanding of ancient Rome.
