520 |a Muscles, six-pack abs, skin, and sweat fill the screen in the tawdry and tantalizing peplum films associated with epic Italian cinema of the 1950s and 1960s.

These"sword and sandal" films represent a century-long cinematic biopolitical intervention that offers the spectator an imagined form of the male body'one free of illness, degeneracy, and the burdens of poverty'that defends goodness with brute strength and perseverance, and serves as a model of ideal citizenry. Robert A.
