During what was supposed to be a fun exhibition at Numerius' birthday party, Spartacus took Varro down and turned to Numerius to give the official thumbs up to spare Varro's life. In her efforts to hurt him, she seduced young Numerius, a kid with the power of an adult but minimal compassion or value for human life. Varro ended up caught in the crosshairs of Ilithyia's vendetta against Spartacus. We got to know him a bit better, learning he was enslaved by choice to pay off a debt, and that he had a wife and an adorable curly-haired child to call his own on the outside.

They were ultimate frenemies, but with Ilithyia, there's a fine line between friend and enemy, and that line crumbled when Lucretia tricked Ilithyia into having sex with Spartacus, instead of Crixus. Status is everything among the Romans, and Ilithyia never seemed very comfortable in Licinia's presence, which isn't all that surprising as she was often slighted by the cousin of Marcus Crassus. It seemed like Licinia was to Ilithyia what Ilithyia was to Lucretia. ![]()
