    Starz‘s return to the Spartacus universe with House of Ashur poses the question: What if Ashur (Nick Tarabay) hadn’t died on Mount Vesuvius at the end of Spartacus: Vengeance and instead was gifted Batiatus’s Ludus in return for helping to kill Spartacus and end the slave rebellion?

    what a weird premise for a spinoff.

    “Well, everyone knows Custer died at Little Bighorn. What this book presupposes is… maybe he didn’t?”

    except Ashur wasn’t even “Custer”, he was a fairly minor character. If they’re going to retcon a character death why not just bring back Batiatus?

      Had to look at some pics of her to believe it. I was dating when I was 49-52, and brother, people that look that good at that age are pretty rare.
