We’re seeing a turn of fortune here as Crixus’ injuries in the midst of gladiator match against Theokoles caused him to cede glory to Spartacus. This gives Crixus the opportunity he’s been looking for, as he agonizes over recapturing the title as the Champion of Capua. “Old wounds” taunt Spartacus (Andy Whitfield) meanwhile in both the physical and spiritual sense as Varro’s death agonizes him, sending him into a fever that could keep him out of the gladiator games with rival city Pompeii. Such a statement again reflects the thin line between glory and the depths in ancient Rome. “When he falls, you shall quickly follow,” he tells him. Under pain of (painful) death, the magistrate keeps it real, telling Batiatus that his position is only buoyed by Spartacus’ feats in the arena.

Of course, in Batiatus’ case, he would have happily accepted Varro’s death in exchange for support of the magistrate for political office, but because it was not given the Varro business only compounds his fury.īatiatus’ rage takes him to the lengths of kidnapping the magistrate Calavius (John Bach), who had blithely cast his political aspirations aside. Numerius (Lliam Powell) cast his thumb in the downward direction (thanks to Ilithyia’s, played by Viva Blanca, crafty machinations), and now Varro is dead at Spartacus’ hand: to some deficit, and to some advantage as things go.Ĭrixus (Manu Bennett) of is looking for his angle to regain his title as the Champion of Capua, and Batiatus (John Hannah) is busily plotting the death of the magistrate. “His heart was stilled, for a boy’s amusement,” Spartacus says of him, and he’s right. Varro (Jai Courtney) lies dead on a slab of stone.
