Apart from being a classic on its own terms, the film is also notable for being the first film in which the long-running film character Maciste makes his debut. It follows a melodramatic main plot about an abducted little girl, Cabiria, and features an eruption of Mount Etna, heinous religious rituals in Carthage, the alpine trek of Hannibal, Archimedes' defeat of the Roman fleet at the Siege of Syracuse and Scipio maneuvering in North Africa.
The film is set in ancient Sicily, Carthage, and Cirta during the period of the Second Punic War (218–202 BC).
Cabiria is a 1914 Italian epic silent film, directed by Giovanni Pastrone and shot in Turin.
