Brought vividly to life on screen, the myth of ancient Rome resonates through modern popular culture. Projectingthe Past examines how the cinematic traditions of Hollywood and Italy have resurrected ancient Rome to address the concerns of the present. The book engages contemporary debates about the nature of the classical tradition, definitions of history, and the place of the past in historical film.
