SWORDANDSANDAL
Sword-and-sandal
The sword-and-sandal, or peplum film is a genre of largely Italian-made historical or biblical epics that dominated the Italian film industry from 1958 to 1965, eventually being replaced in 1965 by the "Spaghetti Western". The pepla attempted to emulate, or compete with, the big-budget Hollywood Historical Epics of the time, such as Spartacus, Samson and Delilah and The Ten Commandments .The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Sword-and-sandal
