Roman’s Richest Marcus Licinius Crassus


Considered as the wealthiest man in Roman history, and among the richest men in all history, Marcus Licinius Crassus was one of those who have interesting back-bone. His was described as clever, ambitious, and craved for power. If there was one thing he desire most, that was defeating Spartacus by his very own bare hands, else he would also love to the praises comes from thousands of armies. Crassus began his public career as a military commander under Lucius Cornelius Sulla during his civil war. Following Sulla's assumption of the dictatorship, Crassus amassed an enormous fortune through real estate speculation. Crassus rose to political prominence following his victory over the slave revolt led by Spartacus, sharing the Consulship with his rival Pompey the Great. He was the one who had build his family own fortune after was been confiscated during the Marian-Cinnan proscriptions. Rather than use his iron hand, he simply do his very own trickery game. 

In Spartacus: War of the Damned, we will see more of Marcus Licinius Crassus doing. We will witness how he have raises again and dominate thousands of armies to capture the rebels and most of all cut the head of Spartacus. British television actor Simon Merrells will portray his characters and whoops, I’ll leave the rest for your eyes in the premiere of Spartacus: War of the Damned Episode 1-Enemies of Rome which is the very first episode of this last and final installment of the series saga. 




After Andy Whitfield has diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and undergoes treatment immediately in New Zealand, it has been a question of who will replace his rule as Spartacus, a Thracian gladiator who was brave and start a major slave uprising against the Roman Republic from 73 to 71 BC. I will never wonder if the show started to cast a new audition to find the best man to be the new Spartacus. However, it was later announced that an Australian actor Liam McIntyre will join the team as the new Spartacus. It was a surprise of course, I mean, will there be no Liam anymore aside that these two was quite opposite bit, Liam got bigger packs than him, taller than him and let's say he got that bad boy image while Liam can be compare to the boy-next-door. The first concern was then how will it works and how viewers face such changes on the show then? But we learn to cope up right? 

September 2011, the saddest news has been delivered, Whitfield died of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Sydney, Australia, 18 months after his initial cancer diagnosis. It comes the most unexpected way especially that we are hoping to see his return in Spartacus: Gods of the Arena. Anyway, that then made Liam McIntyre as the show’s regular member. On the coming Spartacus: War of the Damned, right after many successful episodes he have given to the show, he is back to reprise his role as Spartacus. He will be much bolder this time, stronger and the hunger for bringing Rome into downfall gets more intense. See him getting all those kicks and draws this 25th of January which is the premiere date of Spartacus: War of the Damned Episode 1-Enemies of Rome.

“Why it has to be end”? I’ve been asking that question to myself again and again. Although Steven S. DeKnight reveals the reason in Spartacus: War of the Damned - Comic-Con wherein he say that the series has been taken long, but I wasn’t convince that much.  I mean, I still wanted to see more of this gladiator’s thing and most especially the game of the roman empire. I wanted to see further how Spartacus becomes a legend aside from leading and winning humongous battle. But I guess there are no more to tell. Steven S. DeKnight however reveals that they were working hard to make this unforgettable season finale. It will be the biggest and epic closing moments that will make us crave to watch this again and again. There will be more blood, more lives to take and most of all, war we can ever imagine. They were bringing it all the way they can possibly could.


All the war we have seen before; bloods that flooded the arena; the uprising of the slaves and their battles into freedom, it was all nothing compare of what was coming. This is where it all ends, Spartacus together with his allies are heading straight to the very heart of Rome. There will be neither shake hands nor soft-talks but they were all waiving their sharp blades and settle everything through bloody fight. Rebels once cried to be heard and even beg for their freedom many times; did they bother to hear them? No, so therefore it is time to bring their own doze of medicine. Armed with hope, no one can stop them; not even the strongest men of Rome.

This will be the last and Spartacus: War of the Damned was throwing all the cards. Although, I don’t really wanted the show to end and perhaps I am not alone, but I guess it is time to move on guys and simply enjoy what this upcoming season got for us. The season will premiere on 25th of January and we can anticipate a big start for that. Bowl of popcorn and a comfort settee is then needed, so make sure you got them all infront of our tv screens.
