Overview

The presence of Berenice on cinema and television is limited to some video recordings of theatrical productions of plays (by Järnefelt, and above all, Racine). The only two exceptions are provided by two TV mini-series. The first one, in 1981, presents the meeting between Paul of Tarsus and Berenice at Caesarea Maritima, according to the Acts of the Apostles The other one, in 2007, does it in the context of the adventures of a group of children "at the time of Titus".
