Shows how cinema explores, reinvents and celebrates the spectacle of ancient Rome.
Films discussed in depth include Stanley Kubrick s Spartacus, Ridley Scott s Gladiator and Terry Jones s Monty Python s Life of Brian.
Contributes to discussions about the ongoing relevance of the classical world.
Shows how contemporary film–makers use recreations of ancient history as commentaries on contemporary society.
