Gold for the Caesars

Peplum set in Roman times a'la Spartacus. Solid production values and enough extras to make it appear bigger than it probably was. I liked how it's only 90mins and flows nicely unlike most of these spectacles. Acting is quite stiff as usual in the genre; my favorite was Bosetti's scheming Scipio - and Demongeot was beautiful. De Toth is credited as director but apparently Riccardo Freda is responsible for most of the work; still there's nothing here that resembles his work in Gothic horror.
