Peplum or "sword-and-sandal" films--an Italian genre of the late 1950s through the 1960s--featured ancient Greek, Roman and Biblical stories with gladiators, mythological monsters and legendary quests. The new wave of historic epics, know as neo-pepla, is distinctly different, embracing new technologies and storytelling techniques to create an immersive experience unattainable in the earlier films. This collection of new essays explores the neo-peplum phenomenon through a range of topics, including comic book adaptations likeHercules, the expansion of genre boundaries inJupiter AscendingandJohn Carter, depictions of Romans and slaves inSpartacus, andThe EagleandCenturionas metaphors for America's involvement in the Iraq War.
