Reviews
"Invaluable." Times Literary Supplement"A most welcome addition to this rapidly expanding discourse. It succeeds in collecting an insightful and diverse set of reflections 'inspired by' Gladiator (as filmmakers might say) and will hopefully encourage similar explorations of more recent and forthcoming films set in antiquity." Bryn Mawr Classical Review"This book provides a very useful resource that will enhance the analytical sophistication of students of Scott's film and one that will deepen their appreciation of the complexity of Roman society in the reign of Commodus as well as the problem of imperialism then and today. I have no doubt that it will be a great success and a distinct credit to its editor and his contributors."
