On the heels of the bloody
escape from the House of Batiatus that concluded "Spartacus: Blood and
Sand", the gladiator rebellion continues and begins to strike fear into
the heart of the Roman Republic in "Spartacus: Vengeance". Gaius
Claudius Glaber and his Roman troops are
sent to Capua to crush the growing band of freed slaves that Spartacus
leads before it can inflict further damage. Spartacus is presented the
choice of satisfying his personal need for vengeance against the man
that condemned his wife to slavery and eventual death or making the
larger sacrifices necessary to keep his budding army from breaking
apart. Containing all of the blood-soaked action, exotic sexuality, and
villainy and heroism that has come to distinguish the series, the tale
of Spartacus resumes in epic fashion.
