Join us at the library on Monday, November 6th at 2:00 PM for the adult afternoon program, Hollywood vs. History: Ancient Rome presented by Gregory S. Aldrete, Author and Professor Emeritus of History and Humanistic Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay.
Have you ever wondered how accurate your favorite Roman movie is? This talk will examine several of the most famous films set in ancient Rome, including Ben-Hur (1959) and Gladiator (2000), and reveal the historical accuracy of their plot, sets, costumes, and characters. In addition, you’ll hear interesting stories about the challenges that the filmmakers faced in bringing ancient Rome to vivid cinematic life.
