Now, why is it that those who are
most in favor of mob rule...
stand most to benefit from the
public's greed and stupidity?
Why is it that the rich are
always so keen on reform...
after they've made their
fortune and not before?
The Republic was a fine form
of government...
when Rome was a
backwater city state.
Times have changed.
And one man with a strong
vision must rule Rome.
by whom?
The educated? The wealthy?
The aristocrat? By Crassus?
Or by Pompey?
Plato did say that leadership must
be left to the educated.
Julius Caesar, you mean.
You've heard what
they say about him.
"Every woman's man and
every man's woman."
But you're right,
Pompey overreaches.
If he's not careful, his head will
be found hanging in the Forum...
just like that of your father
and your brother.
Was it something I said?
This is the Roman short sword...
the Gladius. From which
you get your names.
Twenty-two inches long,
three pounds in weight.
A stabbing weapon
for close work.
You kill a man with this and
you can smell his sweat...
taste his breath.
But you sons of whores...
aren't worthy of fighting
with the Gladius yet.
So you will use...
these wooden swords
while I teach you.
You, slave.
Pick it up.
Come at me.
Again.
Too slow, slave.
Pick it up.
Too slow.
Cinna!
So what do you think of our
new Thracian slaves? Good, huh?
They have spirit,
but no real talent.
I see. So you think
they're just very lucky?
And Cinna...
this boy was very expensive.
Don't damage my property.
Enough! Go! Bring her.
Come.
Come here.
Very good.
Better.
Come.
Let me smell your hair.
You know...
I can be a very good master.
Oh, yes. Now, now...
- now kiss me.
- No! No!
Hold her!
Hey, Spartacus.
- How's your nose?
- You got lucky.
Do I have to break it again?
- So where did you fight Romans?
- Thrace.
- You?
- Gaul, where I was caught.
And then later in Sicily
where slaves rebelled.
- You rebelled?
- Two times.
The Romans were terrified of us.
They still are.
Now they kill a man just
Why did it fail?
Fighting Romans is like
fighting a grist mill.
No matter how many times
you attack it in the end...
it grinds you down to dust.
Faster!
Put your backs into it,
you sons of whores!
Why do Africans use
the spear and the net?
I amuses the Romans to turn us
into fishermen.
I was a farmer. I never saw a net
until I came here.
Nordo, this man is trouble.
Leave him be.
In the ring, Draba, they ever pit
Enough talking! Back to work.
