Lucy Lawless On Highly Anticipated TV Series 'Spartacus: Gods of the Arena'

lucy0119.jpg

Actress Lucy Lawless stopped by to talk about her role as Lucretia on Spartacus: Gods of the Arena which premieres January 21 at 10pm on Starz.

Before Spartacus struck down his first opponent in the arena, there were many gladiators who passed though the gates onto the sand. Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, the highly anticipated prequel to Starz' hit series Spartacus: Blood and Sand, tells the story of the original Champion of the House of Batiatus.

Gannicus (Dustin Clare) in a more ruthless time before Spartacus’ arrival where honor was just finding it’s way into the arena. As the prequel begins, Quintus Batiatus (John Hannah) is the acting Lanista while his father Titus (Jeffrey Thomas) is on an extended visit to Sicilia.

But Batiatus isn’t satisfied with just the thought of taking over the Ludus one day; he aspires to political power and prestige in Capua, and perhaps beyond.In the class-conscious world of ancient Rome, the House of Batiatus must first earn the respect of both politicians and socialites before being granted the right for its gladiators to fight in the much-revered championship bouts called the Primus.

Batiatus must not only survive the harsh politics of Capua, but also compel his hedonistic fighter, Gannicus, to embrace being a champion gladiator who will bring esteem and respect to the House of Batiatus.
