Spartacus: Gods of the Arena explores its deadly history before the arrival of Spartacus, and the death he carried with him.
It’s a time of transition as Quintus Lentulus Batiatus takes the reins of his father’s stable of gladiators, with ambitions to elevate the house beyond all former glories. With his beautiful, scheming wife Lucretia at his side, he will stop at nothing to see his name forever carved into history.
Batiatus stakes his fortunes on the roguish gladiator Gannicus (Dustin Clare), a man whose skill with a sword is surpassed only by his appetite to live every day as if it were his last. But there are those who would see Batiatus and his champion destroyed. Loyalties will be tested, lives shattered, and battles waged in this thrilling prequel to Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

More or less equal.
Better than Spartacus blood and sand?
Short but great prequel!
Awesome prequel, very much worth it.
Good series, helps explain why Batiatus is such a jerk.
@elatoo this show is a bonus, season 2 of Blood and Sand got put off because andy whitfield is fighting lymphoma, so the producers gave us this while we wait. Andy will have a short part in the final episode, IIRC.
Umm... this series is awesome mate..
@eltatoo why should the other season be a prequel?
Hmm a prequel of a prequel. What will they think of next.
