- Young Sicilian girl Cabiria (Lidia Quaranta) and her nurse, Croessa (Gina Marangoni), survive a devastating volcanic eruption, only to be taken by Phoenicians to Carthage. As the second of the Punic Wars rages between Carthage and Rome, the pair is sold into slavery, and Cabiria is intended as an offering to the god Moloch and the child-eating statue Kronos.

Rome’s Epic Spectacle Before Hollywood Learned the Trick - Cabiria review by griggs
A monumental silent-era artefact: colossal sets, breathless spectacle, and politics that sit uneasily today. Still, it’s thrilling in patches — compromised, yes, but weirdly alive, like history that refuses to behave.
