Honor Blackman - "The Fight for Rome" (1968) aka Kampf um Rom I

The film is based on the novel "A Struggle for Rome" written by Felix Dahn in 1876 and describes the fight of the Ostrogoths for Italy from the death of their king Theoderic the Great until their doom in 552 AD. The movie is full of palace intrigues and monumental battles between Goths, Romans and Byzantines. In this scene, Amalaswintha, played by Honor Blackman, meets her watery grave.
