Sword and Sandal

The 'Sword and Sandal' sub-genre of movies, also known as 'peplum,' is rooted in historical epics, typically set in ancient Roman and Greek civilizations, as well as biblical times. This genre is characterized by its focus on sword-wielding heroes and heroines adorned in traditional attire, which often includes leather, linen, and, of course, sandals. The plots revolve around tales of adventure, heroism, and legendary battles, with a strong emphasis on action, power struggles, and larger-than-life characters. Popular movies in this sub-genre include 'The Three Musketeers: Milady' and 'The Three Musketeers: D'Artagnan.'
