The analysis carried out aims to show how the Cinema has captured the different episodes of Julius Caesar’s life on the big screen. It’s presents a narration supported by the richest literary sources always under the scenographic curtain of the city of Rome in the Roman Republican period, showing us an anachronistic and mythical image then justified by a way of understanding the productions of a bygone era. For this reason, in this comparative study, links and relationships have been drawn to taking into account what is exhibited and how its narration is carried out.
