Cruel, compelling and occasionally sympathetic, Lucretia was one of Spartacus’ most memorable villains thanks to Lucy Lawless’ performance.

Spartacus and Rome may be similar shows, but each has some ways in which it outdoes the other. Here are all those ways.

While this show had its share of satisfying thrills and fun spectacles, there were more than a few emotional, saddening, and gutwrenching moments.

Whether they be foul, hilarious, or thought-provoking, there's no shortage of quotable bits of dialogue over the show's 4 season run.

Gladiators are some of the most brutal and powerful people in history. Let's rank the most powerful gladiators from the Starz Spartacus series.

From Spartacus' bout with Glaber's forces to the gladiators' revolt, here are some of the greatest duels and battles from Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

Starz' Spartacus provided multiple seasons of thrilling action and political intrigue, with the first season - Blood and Sand - being no exception.

For those unfamiliar with it, Spartacus was a Starz original TV series that ran from 2010-2013 and focused on the legend of the real-life person. The series focused on Spartacus during three key moments in his life, from his time as a slave all the way to his death. The legend of Spartacus is so popular that it has been adapted into several forms of media over the years, including the 1960 film by Stanley Kubrick.

Even with the success of movies like 300 about Spartan warriors and series like HBO’s Rome about Roman legionnaires, Spartacus stood on its own as a unique insight into the life and times of gladiators prior to Spartacus’s famous rebellion. Not much is known about the courageous Thracian prior to his revolt, so the New Zealand series spent three seasons depicting his early life from 73 to 71 B.C. as a gladiator in the arena.
