Episode 3: Exploring the Roman Underbelly for Those About To Die
In a period piece like Those About to Die, or “sword and sandal epics” as they are sometimes called, audiences have high expectations for the costumes. And what the character is wearing doesn’t just say something about them—it says something about the world they inhabit. Creating the costumes for Those About to Die, and helping create the world of the show, required rigorous research and a heroic creative team.
On Episode 3 of Rise or Die, host Dana Schwartz (Noble Blood) talks about how some of the tactile details on set—like the costumes, the props, even the texture of the dust—allowed the Roman Underbelly to come to life. She speaks to costume designer Gianni Casalnuovo, actors Iwan Rheon and Sara Martins, and historical consultant Justin Pollard about bringing authenticity to a part of Roman life is that sometimes overlooked.
