The fusion of Gothic horror and peplum had already been attempted as early as 1961 in Mario Bava's lush 'Hercules in the Haunted World' and Sergio Corbucci's 'Goliath Against the Vampires', 1962 had seen 'Maciste in Hell'. In 1964, there came 'Roma contro Roma'. Director Giuseppe Vari is one of the more talented sort in Cinecitta, and he delivers the goods, even builds in some moments of exploitative and sleazy fun.
