Costuming the other on screen
This paper considers the role of costume in the depiction of ‘barbarians’, looking Eastwards to the Persians, as seen in The 300 Spartans (1962), 300 (2006) and Alexander (2004), and then to the West, focusing on the Celts and the Germans depicted in Centurion (2010), The Eagle (2011) and Barbarians (2020–22). It examines the ways in which costuming is exploited to manipulate audience attitudes towards these peoples, who are presented as a foreig…
Televising Ancient Rome in the Twenty-First Century
Greece and Rome on the Comic Screen
If comedy on screen has been around as long as the screen itself, comedies that interact with history have almost as long a provenance. Conscious use of anachronisms, deconstruction and revision of genre conventions, and the “othering” of the past can be seen in the comic depictions of both Greece and Rome on screen. However, the most notable is the way that the ancient world is used in order to critique a wide range of contemporary concerns, inc…
Rewriting the Ancient World
Rewriting the Ancient World looks at how and why the ancient world, including not only the Greeks and Romans, but also Jews and Christians, has been rewritten in popular fictions of the modern world. The fascination that ancient society holds for later periods in the Western world is as noticeable in popular fiction as it is in other media, for there is a vast body of work either set in, or interacting with, classical models, themes and societies…
Building a New Ancient Rome
This chapter investigates how the world of ancient Rome is portrayed onscreen in the Spartacus series by assessing the physical sets—including the buildings and cities, interior design, and furniture—as well as the art direction in terms of color and costume design. With productions set in particular periods or places, the physical set and mise-en-scène provide vital clues as to when and where they are conceived as taking place. This chapter thus…

The Teacher in Ancient Rome

After identifying and defining the different kinds of teachers in the Roman education systems, Maurice illuminates their ways of life both as both professionals and members of society. This text surveys the physical environment in which teachers worked, as well as the methods, equ…
Structure and Stagecraft in Plautus' Miles Gloriosus
Over recent years it has been recognised that Plautus often uses metatheatricality to underscore the artificiality of his plays, and the Miles Gloriosus has been highlighted as a particularly metatheatrical play. Metatheatricality is strengthened by the structure of the play, which consists of two balanced symmetrical tricks. Both tricks are built of parallel balancing scenes that centre around, and highlight, acting and roleplay. This structure …
A Calculated Comedy of Errors
Plautus’ Menaechmi consists of a two-part structure, built of parallel and balanced scenes, which emphasises the contrast between the two eponymous brothers. This contrast is shown by their relative acting ability, which directly contributes to their respective success and failure within the context of the play. Through his cunning and increasingly elaborate performances, Menaechmus of Syracuse comes over the course of the play to embody the fest…
Amici Et Sodales
One of the ways in which Plautus investigates friendship is through his use of the stock characters so central to Roman comedy. Among the twelve stock characters of comedy that Apuleius lists, appears the figure of the sodalis opitulator (the 'helpful mate'), who has not so far drawn much attention. Not only does Plautus use this character frequently, in five of his twenty extant plays he employs not one friend, but two, as a double motif. In the…
