Ara Pacis Between Augustus and Josef von Sternberg
When in 1937 Hollywood producer Alexander Korda bought the film rights for Robert Graves’ I, Claudius, he decided to entrust the execution of the movie to Josef von Sternberg, probably the greatest esthete among the directors of the day. Unfortunately, the filming of I, Claudius was suddenly stopped and the movie was never finished, but a number of fragments remained, enough to enable us to comprehend the magnitude of the intended spectacle. One of the preserved scenes presents Livia calling Claudius and Caligula to supper. The whole scene is conceived as a gathering under the replica of the Ara Pacis. Ara is modified and distorted to suit the director’s purpose. Likewise, von Sternberg plays with the motive of the Vestal virgins, distancing the scenes from the ancient sources but directly provoking Hollywood censors. Although known only in separate pieces, von Sternberg’s I Claudius raised some questions of the relationship between classical Hollywood and classical antiquity. Can we fully understand either of them?
