For the record, Julius Caesar was captured and ransomed by pirates at one point in his life. He ended up going after piracy later in his military career and fucked them up good... perhaps he was getting back at them for uninvited butt play?

i've never watched this show but i have a degree in ancient history, Plutarch ( who wrote the most about spartacus) is considered by most historians to be quite accurate in his accounting, he was also the most well-read person in rome from that time. he made nothing up himself and can be considered as reliable as his source material.
