Were female gladiators ever a thing? The bloody Starz action melodrama Spartacus: House of Ashur has adopted that as a pivotal plot point all season, introducing the fierce Nubian warrior Achillia (Tenika Davis) and an even more fearsome Scythian gladiatrix. In a well-timed installment of the investigative history docuseries, experts root through archaeological and forensic clues to determine if females ever fought alongside men in ancient Rome’s arenas.
