Plot summary
Varinia, a Gaul, loses her village when the Romans attack it, and its people are enslaved; Lentulus Batiatus, who owns a Roman gladiator school, buys her. Spartacus, a Thracian condemned to the mines as a slave, tries to protect a fellow slave there, and is nearly crucified before Batiatus buys him and takes him with a few others to his ludus to be trained as gladiators. At the meal laid out for the gladiators, Spartacus meets Nardo, Draba and David. Cinna, their trainer, stops a fight between Draba and Gannicus. The defiance of Draba, an Ethiopian warrior, remains with Spartacus.
