		One day, an impromptu bout is staged for the entertainment of some visiting Roman patricians: Marcus Crassus, his lady friend Helena, and the latter's brother Marcus Glabrus (to whom Crassus gives command of the garrison of Rome, in an effort to check the power of his senatorial opponent and democratic demagogue Gracchus).
		To the horror of Crassus (who also loses his new body servant, Antoninus, to the rebels), Glabrus is manoeuvred by Gracchus into leading six cohorts of the garrison against Spartacus, and the result is a debacle for the Romans.
		The moral point, of course, is the contrast between Crassus' unnatural passion for his body servant or the city-state and Spartacus and Varinia's liberated gambolling in the woods.
