A scene from the 1964 film "The Fall of the Roman Empire", in which Romans acclaim their newly crowned Emperor Commodus as he makes his triumphant entry into the Forum.

            On the plains of Las Matas, 16 miles from the Bronston Studios in Madrid, 11,000 men worked daily for 7 months to recreate this film version of the Roman Forum. The buildings were three-dimensional, with skeletons of tubular steel set into concrete bases. This took so much steel - 320 miles of it - that the set used-up all the available supply in Spain and immense shipments had to be obtained from construction sites in France and Italy. This photo shows only one corner of the vast set.
