Spartacus is an ancient Roman historical drama produced by Starz TV in the United States, based on the works of Michael Hirst, Rick Jacobson and T.J. Scott, starring Liam McCantyre, Manu Bennett and Daniel Freiligall. Set in ancient Rome, the play tells the legendary story of how Spartacus, a Thracian warrior, grew from a slave to a leader who rebelled against Roman rule.
In the first season, Spartacus was originally a Thracian warrior who served in the Roman army, but rebelled due to the commander's failure to save him, and was eventually sent to the arena. With his fighting skills and indomitable will, he fought bravely in the arena, hoping that his master would save his fiancée, who was sold into slavery. Behind all this, however, is a conspiracy, and Spartacus, with the help of his friend and rival Kress, eventually takes revenge on his master, Batitas.
In the second season, Spartacus managed to kill Bartitas, but the Roman general Grebo, who had made himself a prisoner, still survived.
