He becomes a favorite of the crowd, leading Senator Albinius to commute his death sentence to a life of slavery. Spartacus, however, proves to be a formidable gladiator, and defeats the four gladiators tasked with executing him. Captured by Glaber, Spartacus is condemned to death as a Gladiator, whilst his wife Sura is condemned to slavery. However after Glaber reneges on the deal and switches his attentions from the Getae to attack Mithridates in Asia Minor, the Thracians feel betrayed and mutiny. The Thracians had been persuaded by Claudius Glaber to serve as auxiliaries in the Roman legions in a campaign against the Getae, who had often plundered Thracian lands. The inspiration behind this series is the Thracian Gladiator Spartacus, who led a slave uprising against the Roman Republic. But his passion will give him the strength to prevail over every obstacle, in this modern and uninhibited tale of death, honour and endurance. He will be seduced by power and tormented by vengeance. Spartacus must fight for survival, befriend his enemies and play politics in this new world of corruption, violence, sex and fame. When he is separated from the love of his life, Spartacus is forced into the gruesome and bloodthirsty arena, where a grisly death is primetime entertainment. Spartacus is a graphic and visceral account of Rome's most famous gladiator.
