The show is good in general but it has made the same blunder as other shows based on the distorted history written by the romans. It depicts a citizen of Carthage, which was more civilized then Rome, as a barbaric homosexual person, and even use the family name of Hannibal, one of the greatest generals in all time (Barca). The other mistake they made is they gave the Syrian slave an Arabic name when it’s known that Arabs did not exist in Syria till hundreds of years after the Spartacus event. For once I wish writers get the historical facts right when making a historically based show.
