Description

The superb scholarship that runs through these pages entertains and inspires. In addition to its value to classics students and scholars, this book is a major contribution to the growing literature in television and film studies.”
Robert J. Burgoyne, Wayne State University and author of The Hollywood Historical Film

“Monica Cyrino has put together a wonderful collection of short, well-focused essays, which offer the non-specialist reader a well-argued dialogue between the historical data – archaeological as well as literary – and the artistic, social, and political agenda implicit in the choices of the series’ creators. Running through all the essays is a provocative meditation on the contemporary constructions of ancient Rome.”
Peter Rose, Miami University
