Very silly and a lot of fun - everything you want from an Imperial Roman court peplum, with Belinda Lee having a high old time as the famous empress, who goes through her tropes: milk baths, seducing soldiers, assassinating people, plotting coups. It's one of her best parts and she's very enjoyable.
Out of the other cast there is a dutiful soldier and some decent nobles, and a pure slave girl (at least I think she was a slave girl), plus imitations of Claudius and Narcissus which adds to camp value. There's a decent budget, impressive action and production values. Maybe three stars is too high but it seriously ticks all the boxes.
