Short storyline
Spartacus is treated with a slightly overexposed video stylization, akin to the style used in the film 300 and the look from Gladiator.
It also contains many unusual traits purportedly intended to convey a sense of authenticity. Though in English, the sentence structure seems archaic and follows something closer to Latin rules. For example, the definite and indefinite articles ("the" and "a", in English) are avoided in many situations, and the word "yes", which is absent in classical Latin, is replaced by affirming phrases[citation needed], such as "that is my desire".
The program is preceded by a very specific warning, that it purports to portray a "historical portrayal of ancient Roman society that contains graphic violence and adult content". Incidental nudity and scenes of a sexual or of a violent nature are present throughout.
