As seen on screen in the 1951 movie Quo Vadis, the MGM productionsaid to have set the standard for mega block buster epic films. Props from this movie were reused in MGM's 1953 Julius Caesar and others. This hand carved wooden snake standard likely also dates back to the silent 1925 Ben Hur, as the design has a spoked chariot wheel center.This Snake and wheel pole top device exactly matches this listing provided on screen photo. It Would be nice to know if the other Roman prop standards also survive?
