The scene you're referring to was Crassus (Lawrence Olivier) trying to seduce a slave (Tony Curtis).

The historic Crassus was immensely wealthy and greedy. But except for his defeat of Spartacus' "rabble" army he lacked the military chops to be considered on par with Scipio, Marius, or Caesar. So he set out to conquer the Parthian Empire (The Persians - rich beyond belief) and had his entire army wiped out. Story is for his greed he (or one of his sons) was executed by the Parthians by having molten gold poured down his throat.

youre behind the times! lol... the new spartacus was on Starz I believe. 3 or 4 seasons. Season 1 had the best spartacus but for some reason they had a new guy with like half the muscle mass take over from season 2. with the exception of the rawness of the series, it was pretty good(but brutal).

here is the scene I’m referring to. if you dont wanna watch the whole thing, FF to 1:35...
