Plot Overview

The series begins with Spartacus (played by Andy Whitfield), a Thracian warrior betrayed by the Romans and sold into slavery after defying the Roman commander Claudius Glaber (Craig Parker). Torn from his homeland and separated from his wife, Spartacus finds himself thrust into the brutal world of gladiatorial combat.

At the ludus (gladiatorial training school) owned by the cunning Batiatus (John Hannah) and his manipulative wife Lucretia (Lucy Lawless), Spartacus must fight for survival while navigating a web of political intrigue, betrayal, and ambition.

As he rises to prominence in the arena, Spartacus is driven by his desire for freedom and vengeance, ultimately sparking a rebellion that challenges the might of Rome.
