This is a collection of 16 cutting edge essays on Rome Season Two.
It is set in the turbulent years after Caesar's assassination in 44
BC, Season Two of the HBO BBC series Rome lays bare a city shaken
by the violent power struggle between Octavian, Caesar's adopted
son and heir, and Mark Antony, his most trusted general, bound in
the seductive spell of Cleopatra. Rome Season Two: Trial and
Triumph is the first academic volume to explore the second season
of this critically acclaimed and commercially successful drama. It
brings together 16 pioneering and provocative essays written by an
international cast of leading classical scholars and media critics.
Focusing on the series' historical framework, visual and narrative
style, thematic overtones, and influence on modern popular culture,
this book also engages with the authenticity of the production and
considers its place in the tradition of epic films and television
series set in ancient Rome. With a foreword by the producer and
historical consultant on the series, this volume is both scholarly
and entertaining. It will be an invaluable resource for students
and scholars in Classics and Ancient History as well as Film and
Media Studies. It is the only academic volume focused exclusively
on Season Two of Rome. It showcases both established and up and
coming international scholars. It is edited by a leading
contemporary scholar in the field. It is an original, innovative
research in fields of history, politics, gender, film, fan culture.
It explores the theme of Rome on screen from multiple angles:
history, classics, film studies, reception studies, gender studies,
fandom studies.
