Book Presentation:
Through a vast array of case studies, from the silent era to recent years, Brill's Companion to Ancient Greek and Roman Warfare on Film traces cinema’s enduring fascination with battles and violence in classical antiquity and explores the reasons, synchronic as well as diachronic, for war’s centrality in celluloid Greece and Rome.
