By the Gods!

The blind Nydia (Barbara Carroll) and Ione (Christine Kaufmann) are about to be eaten by lions in the arena in THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII (1959)

Barbara was also in GOLIATH AGAINST THE GIANTS and that was it for her and the PEPLUM genre. She played 'good' characters in both films. As for Christine, according to IMDb, she was only 14 years old here. Hmm...She was born in 1945 and this was released in 1959. She was way too young to be Steve Reeves' love interest! Ah!
