Starz has released the following synopsis of the third season of the hit series:

‘Spartacus: war of the Damned-The Complete Third Season’ takes place following the defeat of Roman commander Gaius Claudius Glaber. Spartacus and his men have amassed major victories against the Romans after the Battle of Vesuvius. These victories have not only forged the legend of Spartacus, but have greatly increased the ranks of the rebellion slaves to more than 30,000. Rome is indeed beginning to tremble at the threat Spartacus now represents.

‘Spartacus: war of the Damned-The Complete Third Season’ features Liam McIntyre (‘Radev’) in the role of Spartacus, Manu Bennett (’30 Days of Night’) as Crixus, Dustin Clare (‘Underbelly’) as Gannicus, Dan Feuerriegel (‘Home and Away’) as Agron, Simon Merrells (‘The Wolfman’) as Crassus, Todd Lasance (‘Cloudstreet’) as Caesar and Cynthia Addai-Robinson (‘FlashForward’) as Naevia.
