2. The paper is based on documents from the Segreteria Personale del Duce, Carteggio Ordinario (SPDCO),Mussolini's 1922-1943 personal archive in the Central State Archive (ACS), Rome, as well as Mussolini's private archive within the Central State Archive, the Segreteria Particolare del Duce, Carteggio Riservato (SPDCR). Furthermore, propaganda newsreels from the historical archive of the LUCE Institute, Rome, are utilized to show how the process of filming Gallone's movie was related both to 1930s colonial expansionist themes as well as Roman themes through the silver screen. Newsreel segments are referenced according to their archival classification: they do not have titles but serial numbers beginning with the letter B followed by four numbers. For example, B0391.

Furthermore, a revisitation of the conflict between Rome and Carthage was produced in 1940 by the LUCE institute, in a short documentary by director Liberio Pensulti titled Roma e Cartagine (Rome and Carthage). Whilst docufilms' are generally understood to belong to later cinematic eras, this documentary fused historical accounts with fictionalized scenes from ancient times.
