SPARTACUS- A Netflix Web series- An epic scene from web series 'Spartacus', S1:E13- "KILL THEM ALL".

This is a scene from web series 'Spartacus', S1:E13- "KILL THEM ALL". In the snap, there is shown Batiatus's slaves standing in a line, Batiatus and his guest are watching from balcony; Crixus sitting there with his shield and  Spartacus in jumping mode attacking on Batiatus with his sword.

It was not an jump but a step by Spartacus and other rebel slaves over the Roman's longstanding slavery system and cruelty.Quintus Lentulus Batiatus is a Lanista, a trainer and trader of gladiators. He was running a ludus in Capua, Dominus to Spartacus and most of the other gladiators.

 In those days in Rome, there were many lanistas who were running ludus to build gladiators. In the ludus, the slaves were treated worse than animals. They were not properly feed but beaten by hunters. Therefore the gladiators and other slaves decide to clamor against this cruelty and to get freedom.This scene starts with a pre-planned fight between Cirxus and Spartacus.

 In between the fight, Crixus smirks slightly, and Spartacus throws him toward the balcony. Crixus looks up and back towards Lucretia. Seething with rage, he grabs his shield and quietly says "Spartacus" while patting the shield. Spartacus and the other gladiators quickly realizes the meaning of this. He runs and leaps with all his strength from Crixus' shield and towards the balcony. 

At the peak of his jump, he aims his sword at Batiatus and ends up stabbing Sextus through the head. The dying Sextus reflexively grabs Ashur, and both fall down into the ludus. Spartacus again tries to kill Batiatus when a whip grabs his arm- Oenomaus stopped him. Batiatus briefly stares with shock at the enraged Spartacus as he runs back into the villa with the other Romans. 

The episode ends with the the death of Batiatus and other Romans who were present at ludus.

Spartacus is an American television series inspired by the historical figure of Spartacus, a Thracian gladiator who from 73 to 71 BCE led a major slave uprising against the Roman Republic departing from Capua.

Spartacus, who along with Crixus, Gannicus, Castus, and Oenomaus, was one of the escaped and brave slave leaders in the Third Servile War. This rebellion, interpreted by some as an example of oppressed people fighting for their freedom against a slave-owning oligarchy, has provided inspiration for many political thinkers, and has been featured in literature, television, and film.
