Yes, it is true, the intense, powerful, and impressively muscular men of Spartacus definitely played a key part in the series’ great success. In this list in particular, we would like to focus specifically on the lovely, strong, talented women of Spartacus who made the series so memorable. Since it has been eight years since the series first premiered, why not take a moment to check up on what our favorite Romans, slaves, and rebels have been up to since we last saw them.

The series was an instant success from the first season, and quickly got a reputation for its gory action scenes, dramatic twists, and of course its cast of talented and not to mention insanely gorgeous cast. The historical-action show was inspired by historical figure Spartacus, who was a Thracian gladiator who helped lead the slaves to an uprising against the Roman Republic in Capua, Italy during 73 to 71 BCE.

Before there was Game of Thrones on HBO, another historical-ish series filled with blood, romance, and beautiful people took over our television sets (that is for those who had Starz) – Spartacus.
