Spartacus/Final episode date

Although movies show Julius Caesar and Spartacus together, there’s no evidence that they ever met. But this lesson will seek to establish that in spite of their varied backgrounds, the two men had many things in common and made their mark on history.

Crixus was a Gallic gladiator and military leader in the Third Servile War between the Roman Republic and rebel slaves. Born in Gaul, he was enslaved by the Romans under unknown circumstances and trained as a gladiator in Capua. His name means “one with curly hair” in Gaulish.

Laeta is a beautiful, elegant woman with long auburn hair, and dressed like a proper wealthy Roman woman. Even after her city was taken over by Spartacus, and she was relegated to a prisoner, she still took care of her appearance.

As the massacre begins, Saxa quietly tries to sneak Laeta and the other Romans to Spartacus, although they are intercepted. Crixus grabs Laeta and prepares to kill her but Spartacus arrives in time to save her and the group, although Crixus demands that he kill Laeta for her role in hiding the Roman captives.

In Latin, the name Laeta means “merry” or “cheerful”, an ironic name for the character. Of all the women who has slept with Spartacus (Sura, Illythia, Mira), she is the only one not to die. She is also the second roman woman to sleep with Spartacus. She has only killed one character in the series.

Laeta was the privileged wife of a Roman dignitary who becomes entangled in the struggle against Spartacus. Her life and those of the ones she loves are forever changed by the conflict. Laeta is a beautiful, elegant woman with long auburn hair, and dressed like a proper wealthy Roman woman.
