The show will follow Ashur after Spartacus is defeated ; for his service in bringing Spartacus ' rebellion to an end , he is gifted the ludus of Batiatus in Capua . short else is bonk about the plot of land , but in theorythe show will rejoin to the active visualise inSpartacus : Blood and Sand , in which a majority of the action takes shoes in the gladiator ' preparation and actual fighting in the arena .
