Introduction
Spartacus: Blood and Sand is the first season of American television series Spartacus, which premiered on Starz on 22 January 2010.
Outline
In the arena, Crixus continues his winning streak, and Spartacus kills the condemned Solonius. Spartacus also plots vengeance, but is warned by Mira that any attack on the master risks the life of all slaves.
When finally granted an audience with Batiatus, he stays his hand when he notices Varro’s widow, Aurelia, now working as a debt-slave. The ludus later awaits the arrival of Ilithyia and her husband Claudius Glaber, and Batiatus ends up being irked by Glaber’s bluntness, but also surprised by his wife’s pregnancy.
Meanwhile, Spartacus fights against Glaber’s soldiers, and Ashur’s vengeful scheming finally exposes the relationship between Crixus and Naevia, leading to a scene. When Glaber refuses to sponsor Batiatus, he and Lucretia desperately reveal Ilithyia’s hand in Licinia’s murder and Glaber is forced to acquiesce.
In the end, Crixus is flogged while Naevia is sold – but before leaving, she tells Doctore the truth behind Barca’s “freedom”.
