Synopsis

Theobald, a Roman senator lives in Clermont with his niece Maxence who became a Christian. Sartorek, chief of the Barbarians, touched by Maxence's charm, orders the end of the pillaging and asks Theobald for her hand in marriage. Betrothed to Michel Brabance, she seeks refuge with him at the Christian colony of Vadum. From there, Michel asks for Clodion's protection. During his absence, Sartorek and his men attack Vadum and condemn Maxence to be decapitated for not renouncing her faith.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
