STARZ “Spartacus: House of Ashur

About “Spartacus: House of Ashur” The new series is a thrilling, erotic, history-bending return to the world of Spartacus. It imagines an alternate path: What if Ashur had lived — and the Romans rewarded his treachery with control of the very gladiator school where he once suffered? Now free and in power, Ashur rules the ludus that once owned him, but surviving the brutal world of Roman politics proves far deadlier than the arena.

When he unleashes Achillia, a fierce gladiatrix determined to dominate a man’s world, the House of Ashur becomes the epicenter of a spectacle that shocks Rome’s elite and rewrites the rules of blood, loyalty, and betrayal.
