Plot
After the bloody escape from the House of Batiatus that concluded Spartacus: Blood and Sand, the gladiator rebellion begins to strike fear into the heart of the Roman Republic in Spartacus: Vengeance. Praetor Claudius Glaber and his Roman troops are sent to Capua to crush Spartacus' growing band of freed slaves before they can inflict further damage. But Spartacus finally comes face to face with the man who sold his wife into slavery and condemned Spartacus to slavery as a gladiator owned by Batiatus. But Glaber falls in the attempt of killing Spartacus. Former champion and God of the Arena Gannicus returns to fight Spartacus, only to join and aid Spartacus as he takes on the Roman Republic, lead by Marcus Crassus. Spartacus is given a choice between satisfying his personal need for vengeance against the man who condemned his wife to slavery and eventual death, or making the larger sacrifices necessary to keep his budding army from breaking apart.
Craig Parker as Gaius Claudius Glaber – Ilithyia's husband and a praetor. Responsible for Spartacus' enslavement as a gladiator, he is now tasked with putting down the revolt
Big effin’ kudos to the people behind Spartacus: Vengeance for making a gladiator show with cocks. Wasn't everyone fighting naked back then? Or at the very least with no pants on. Remember Gladiator with Russell Crowe? That bitch almost had a three piece suit on. This was ancient times! All the guys were fucking each other and wearing very little clothing. Finally someone got it right
Anyway, here’s actor Craig Parker showing off his goods.
