This is reception history at its finest. The book takes the reader on a voyage through film history and different genres from the days of silent movies to modern TV shows, through literature from 19th century novels to modern fan fiction. Deciphering the cross-media entanglement of Roman women in these sources offers revealing insights into how these women were and are stereotyped, but also empowered. -- Anja Wieber, Independent Scholar, Germany
