What is it about Ancient Rome that keeps bringing back film and television makers? Art, plays, film and television have long plundered this time period for inspiration and ideas. Is it the memory of a civilization that appears to be a lot closer to the modern world than say the Middle Ages or the Renaissance? An era that serves as a mirror - and warning - to all great world powers that followed it after?? These are all important questions but the real magic of this era is that you can show people a thoroughly immoral world this means cruelty, blood, gore and sex. Here is a clue:Spartacus! Spartacus!! Spartacus!!!

  • What is it about Ancient Rome that keeps bringing back film and television makers? Art, plays, film and television have long plundered this time period for inspiration and ideas. Is it the memory of a civilization that appears to be a lot closer to the modern world than say the Middle Ages or the Renaissance?

These are all important questions but the real magic of this era is that you can show people a thoroughly immoral world this means cruelty, blood, gore and sex. Here is a clue:Spartacus! Spartacus!! Spartacus!!! This certainly seems the approach made by the makers of the television series Spartacus:Blood and Sand, Spartacus:Gods of the Arena, Spartacus:Vengeance and now Spartacus:War of the Damned. If Ben Hur had chariots and his Jewish background and hang ups, the era of Spartacus has no such problem. Everyone so far has been thoroughly pagan in their attitudes to each other, though it would not be surprising to see a Jewish merchant (or gladiator) appear at some stage. Perhaps there will be a Spartacus v Proto Ben Hur contest in future.
