Starz considering 'Spartacus' spinoff

ɛt ˈtu? And, on the same token, we also know what happened to Spartacus (well, I at least hope that the average person does; even if his eventual demise is not as famous as the assassination of Julius Ceaser by republicans senators on the Senate floor -perhaps the most well-known assassination in recorded history)...

Spoiler alert for the end of the show; Caesar gets stabbed and dies.

Not that Caesar was an especially humane individual, but the (a)historical accounts (written by the victors, as always) has completely distorted the popular notion of what it actually meant to be a Republican (portrayed as moral and just) versus being a Democrat (portrayed as immoral and corrupt) in ancient (unholy) Roman Empire. *** So, although I am very excited with prospects for more masterful DeKnight Roman Empire storytelling, I am also more than a little wary of being disappointed with more of the same old(/elder) Cato-the-f--ing-liar bs. *** But, if DeKnight is, somehow, able (allowed) to realistically capture the struggle between the aristocratic republican 'Optimates' and the plebic democratic 'Populares,' as it really was during Ceaser's (and other) time(s), rather than the usual triumphalist, elitist way in which it is almost always portrayed --as democracy vs. tyranny (take for example how Star Wars depicts that past event -far, far away, of course, as "Old Republic" = good, 'Emperor' = evil; except, in reality, the non-slaves, non-women, non-aristocratic citizens of Rome loved Ceaser and his popular reforms and hated the Optimates with a vengeance, and for good cause)-- that would be... so daring, so amazing.
