He has also published several book chapters on the representation of classical antiquity on film and television. He is the editor of Classical Journal. Monica S. Cyrino is Professor of Classics at the University of New Mexico. Her scholarly research centers on the reception of the ancient world on screen.

She has served as an academic consultant on several recent film and television productions.

In 1960 Kirk Douglas’ Spartacus was directed toward the liberal values of its middle class audience. The contributors to this volume ably show in their analyses how half a century later both producers and viewers of STARZ Spartacus have become significantly more disparate in their aspirations, whether political or sexual.
