Tóm tắt

"Big Screen Rome demonstrates how popular appropriations of classical antiquity on film can enrich our understanding of the classical tradition. It also shows how modern filmmakers use recreations of ancient history as commentaries on contemporary society. Written in an energetic and engaging style, this book makes a critical contribution to debates about the ongoing relevance of the classical world."--BOOK JACKET.
