- In its war on the Greek peninsula, the Romans convince the Thracians to join them in defeating the Getae, who have been raiding Thracian villages for generations. The Thracians are fierce warriors and prove to be valiant in battle. They are deceived by the Roman commander, Claudius Glaber, who orders them to fight against the Greeks, something they had not counted on. One of them in particular refuses to fight and rebels against the Romans only to lose the fight and is enslaved along with his wife Sura. The Thracian is transported to Capua where Senator Albinius is sponsoring gladiatorial games. In the arena, the enslaved Thracian manages to defeat four opponents and in allowing the Thracian to live, Senator Albinius decides to name him after a Thracian king from the past: Spartacus.—garykmcd
- Betrayed by power-hungry Roman Army legatus General Gaius Claudius Glaber, a rebellious Thracian warrior finds himself sentenced to death. Condemned to slavery as a gladiator, forced to battle tooth and nail in the blood-soaked arena, the anonymous fighter captures the imagination of the ecstatic crowd in Capua, catching the eye of scheming Quintus Lentulus Batiatus, a wealthy trainer and trader of gladiators. And as the nameless, battle-hardened warrior becomes the new hero of the arena, he earns his name: Spartacus, a slave destined for glory.—Nick Riganas
