The Peplum Era
This chapter focuses on a single film of a particular type (the strong-man movie): the “peplum” film can be explained in terms of cinematic history and the economic conditions of the time (D'Amilio 2011) and is much more diverse than highlighting the iconic figure of Steve Reeves suggests. In order to understand Le fatiche d'Ercole (“The Labors of Hercules”, as Hercules was known on release in Italy in 1958), it is important to consider the Itali…
Franco Rossi's Adaptations of the Classics
From 1968 to 1985, the Italian director Franco Rossi produced three television adaptations of canonical epics of Greek, Roman, and Polish literature (Odisseai, Eneide, and Quo Vadis). Rossi's version of Sienkiewicz's novel Quo Vadis makes numerous changes from its source and also from earlier adaptations, most notably the 1951 version. Comparison between The Legend of Aeneas and Rossi's Eneide will highlight differing approaches to retelling Virg…
Fabius and Minucius in Tacitus
Roman conflict with Parthia in the mid first century for control of Armenia and Domitius Corbulo's exploits in the East, culminating in the Parthian candidate for the throne, Tiridates, receiving his diadem from the hands of the Emperor Nero in Rome, have frequently been studied for what they reveal about military and diplomatic manoeuvres under the later Julio-Claudians. The historiographical investigation of our main source, Tacitus, particular…

Silius' Rome
A recent English-language textbook on Greek and Roman historical epic begins its account of Silius Italicus by describing the author of the Punica as ‘not a literary person. Most of his long life was spent in the Roman civil service’. Then, after suggesting that the poet was seeking to make up for earlier missed opportunities by writing what is the longest surviving Latin epic, the potted biography concludes by declaring that his actual demise wa…
"Trimalchio as "Deliciae
WHEN TRIMALCHIO'S BANQUET is resumed with new food and attendants, a particularly attractive slave-boy engages the attention of the master of the household (Sat. 74.8). The prolonged kiss the latter bestows, however, also arouses the jealousy of his wife. In the ugly scene which follows, the enraged Trimalchio initially threatens to exclude Fortunata from all the provisions set down for his funeral and memorial. When Habinnas and Scintilla attemp…
Seneca On Death Notices
Silius Italicus as ‘Doctvs Poeta’
The second half of the first century A.D. is the age of the senatorial poet at Rome. While previously Rome's poets frequently were outsiders adopted into the system (Vergil and Horace in particular come to mind in this connection), now members of the inner circles of government could actively display their literary talents and preferences. There can be little doubt that the reign of Nero is mainly responsible for this state of affairs — there is …
A Man at a Spring
The first poem in a new poetry book is of paramount importance. As the first that a reader — or browser — would see, it acted as a virtual preface by giving some indication of the content and style of the whole collection. While the initial poems in books of elegies and satires have often enough been examined for their ‘programmatic’ content, the function of the first of Horace's odes is less clear
