This continues to be interesting. It helps if you like ancient history. The episodes are now up to the time after the gladiators revolt, slaughter Batiatus and most of his family, but his wife escaped (played by Lucy Lawless) who is now traumatized and mentally ill.

I found this site which helps with the references.
