		Mostly slaves kidnapped from their native lands, they were forced to fight and train for the arena in the hope that one day they might please the citizens of Rome in an eternal bloodlust.

		But when Lentulus, the other consul, had surrounded the enemy with large forces, Spartacus rushed upon them, joined battle with them, defeated the lieutenants of Lentulus and seized their baggage.

	Untitled Document
		73 B.C. Spartacus, a Thracian slave in the mines of Nubia, is purchased as potential gladiator material by Lentulus Batiatus, lanista of a gladiatorial school at Capua, near Rome.
		Under Batiatus' brutal trainer Marcellus, Spartacus learns the techniques of the arena (where he is destined to fight in matched pairs to the death), and is given a woman, Varinia, his innocent awe of whom causes his keepers much amusement.
		On his visit to the trenches in Paths of Glory, still needing to bolster his self-deceit that the attack on the Ant Hill is all for the glory of France and quite feasible, General Mireau surveys the target through field glasses and announces that he has seen worse objectives, that it looks quite "pregnable".

	DVD Verdict Review - Spartacus: Criterion Collection
		Batiatus, operator of a gladiator school in Capua, Italy, sees great promise in the angry slave and purchases him.
		Soon a party of Roman gentry, including Marcus Licinius Crassus (Laurence Olivier) and Marcus Publius Glabrus (John Dall), comes to visit Batiatus' school, and their demands for a combat spectacle spread dangerous ill-will through the gladiators, but no single demand is more fateful than Crassus' purchase of Varinia for his household in Rome.
		Managing the harsh and gentle, comic and tragic components of Lentulus Batiatus with the skill and aplomb of an expert juggler, scene-stealer Ustinov was quite worthy of the Best Supporting Actor Oscar he won for this effort.

		A bit of a rebel, even for a slave, he is bought by Lentulus Batiatus (Peter Ustinov), the owner of a successful gladiator training school.
		All I can say is, school ain’t what it used to be, and Spartacus soon learns that the trick to surviving is to keep your eyes open and your mouth shut.
		Batiatus takes slightly more interest in Spartacus than the others, singling him out for the attentions of one of his prettier female slaves, Varinia, (Jean Simmons).

	BigSofa reviews Spartacus
		Captain Kirk, immediately identified as a fine, physicial speciman by Lentulus Batiatus (played by Peter Ustinov in the movie), is purchased to be trained as a gladiator.
		During the critical gladiator fight at the school, she disdains the leader of the Roman troops (indeed Crassus has just made him leader) and pours the contents of the jug she's carrying on him.
		She and Spartacus later share much laughter over how slow Lentulus is, because of his size, for which reason he was unable to catch her (Lentulus, by the way, means "slow").

		Like his fellow trainees, he is rigorously trained in fighting skills in order to be profitably peddled to Roman coliseum owners.

	Virtual Urth - Spartacus DVD Reviewed By Peter Suciu
		The standout scenes are actually the ones featuring supporting actors such as Peter Ustinov playing Lentulus Batiatus, a greedy and cowardly slave merchant who ends up redeeming himself by saving Varinia and the son of Spartacus.
		Charles Laugton is also excellent as the aging Senator Lentulus Gracchus, who fought - but failed - to keep control from Crassus.
		The film manages to stage one impressive battle sequence, but the turning point is never really seen, nor is the might of the Roman Republic's armies really felt.

	USATODAY.com - Ustinov's talent and wit delighted in many forms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		One of the key qualities that sets 1960's Spartacus apart from Hollywood's other gladiator epics is the surprising bonus of finding Ustinov's wit amid carnage and crucifixion.
		Spartacus won him a supporting Oscar for playing the likable, conniving slave merchant Lentulus Batiatus, followed by a second surprise award for 1964's Topkapi as a jewel caper's seedy comic relief.
		This win indirectly led to one of the great Oscarcast speeches, when shocked designated accepter Jonathan Winters said that had he known Ustinov would win, "I would have been sure to wear fl socks."
