A Western which follows the same pattern of a PEPLUM: it has a bare-chested hero fighting a lost civilization; same cliches, same supporting actors; same locations; etc. I say yes. It's more a PEPLUM than a Spaghetti Western that's for sure.

Maybe this is the cinematic equivalent of one of those transitional fossils where one species is evolving into another, given that most peplum producers became spaghetti western producers.
