'''''Hero of Rome''''' ({{lang-it|Il Colosso di Roma}}) is a 1964 [[sword and sandal]] film set in [[ancient Rome|Rome]] in 508 BC, and depicts the expulsion of the [[Lucius Tarquinius Superbus|last kings of Rome]] and the legend of [[Gaius Mucius Scaevola]].
==Plot==
The city-state of [[Rome]] has just expelled its [[Etruscan civilization|Etruscan]] overlords and become a republic. The Etruscans declare war in an attempt to regain their territory. The warrior Scaevola is captured trying to assassinate king Porsenna, and threatened with [[torture]] unless he gives them strategic information. Scaevola instead thrusts his right hand into a [[brazier]] and lets it burn, demonstrating that he loves Rome too much to care about physical pain, and warns the king that many other Romans would do the same. 

The awed Porsenna releases him and sues for peace after learning the truth about how the Romans banished their last king, [[Lucius Tarquinius Superbus]]. However, Tarquin still wants to continue the war to regain his throne, and orders his men to kill Mucius later. Surviving the ambush, Mucius returns to Rome to lead his countrymen, but the damage to his hand prevents him from wielding a sword in his right hand again. 

The [[Roman Senate]] manages the war badly, and it becomes clear that only Scaevola can lead his countrymen to victory. He trains himself to fight with his left hand, and is soon able to return to battle and defeat the Etruscan kings.

==Reception==
A anonymous reviewer in the ''[[Monthly Film Bulletin]]'' reviewed a dubbed version titled ''Arm of Fire''. <ref name="mfb" /> The review declared that the films narrative was "unconvincing and improbable" and that the dialogue was hampered by English dialogue that was "on the level of the cartoon strip" while the "climactic spectacle is competently handled, but other ocular highlights are few."<ref name="mfb">{{cite magazine|magazine=[[Monthly Film Bulletin]]|title=Colosso Di Roma, Il (Arm of Fire), Italy, 1964|pages=122–123|publisher=[[British Film Institute]]|date=August 1965|issue=379|volume=32}}</ref>
