Princess of Rome (Persian: شاهزاده روم‎‎) is an Iranian computer-animated movie about the life of a Christian princess, Malika, mother-to-be of Muhammad al-Mahdi, the 12th Shia Imam, and granddaughter of Caesar of Rome.[1] The animation is 75 minutes in duration and narrates the story of Malika's journey to Samarra in Iraq to marry Hasan al-Askari, the 11th Shia Imam. She changes her name to Nargis Khatoon following the marriage.[2][3][4]

The animation was screened at the 33rd Fajr International Film Festival for the first time. The animation was also dubbed in Arabic and released in Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon and some other Middle Eastern countries.[3][5]

The Princess of Rome features as many as 40 characters in the animation, and almost 100 specialists contributed to its production. Hadi Muhammadian directed the movie and wrote the story. Hamed Jafari was the producer.[3][5] Hadi Muhammadian has said: "The quality of Roman Princess is far ahead of other animations in Iran and is comparable with foreign works." He also stated: "This was produced with a budget of 600,000 dollars in 15 months, which is a record in the local animation industry."[3] "Students are the main audience of the film."[3] said Jafari, the movie producer. For this reason, religious and historical experts thought the animation to be displayed for children and teenagers.[1]
