2 Roman Figures turned to Films

 1. The Foundation/Founding of Rome

I think that a movie about the founding of Rome, even though many know the general story, could be interesting to watch. I mean you could have it be educational/informative, maybe on details not many know, as well as keep it entertaining with incorporating bits of the myths alongside it. It also already has a built in sequel, the story of Romulus! Box Offices would love that. 

2. Antoninus Pius

Okay, this seems slightly counterintuitive to the captivating action movie we might expect from Rome, but I think that’s part of the appeal. Antoninus was a bit of an anomaly in terms of what we think of Roman emperors— he was not as interested in destruction or power as he was interested in rebuilding and restoration. Even his construction projects themselves were things such as baths, roads, aqueducts, and bridges rather than large monuments. I think showing this side of Roman rulers could be interesting in its subversion, maybe a drama? It would need to find a way to stay captivating to the audience.
