She is not a gladiator, a rebel, or a schemer—she is simply the woman Spartacus loves. And her fate is the single most important event that transforms a defeated Thracian auxiliary into the leader of a slave rebellion. Who Was Sura? Sura (played by Erin Cummings and later, briefly, by Marisa Ramirez in a dream sequence) is introduced in the very first episode, “The Red Serpent.” She is a Thracian woman, gentle and strong-willed, who shares a deep, quiet love with Spartacus.

The Deal with Glaber The tragedy begins when Spartacus defies the Roman legate Gaius Claudius Glaber .

In revenge, Glaber captures Sura, falsely telling Spartacus she is dead to break his spirit, then sells her into slavery. Spartacus is condemned to the gladiator school of Lentulus Batiatus. what happened to sura in spartacus
