In 73 BC, the famous gladiator of house Batiatus, Spartacus, escaped the ludus with the other gladiators and they slaughtered the head of the of Batiatus, Quintus and his wife Lucretia and the gladiators escaped with the other slaves of the house. Among those slaves was me. Cassandra. I had been a bodyslave to Lucretia for four years. I had been best friends with Lucretia's other bodyslave, Naevia since i was bought. When Quintus Batiatus bought me, he also bought my brother, Crixus, who would eventually become the Champion of Capua. During my days as a slave in the house of Batiatus, i gained friends; both slaves and gladiators. I also gained something more. I fell in love. The man i fell in love with, one of the gladiators, returned my feelings, and i had never been as happy as when i was with him. Unfortunately, our relationship was cut short when he was set free. I could not follow despite my wishes. Now, four years later, we're fighting to free ourselves from the chains that the romans had put us in.
