Tensions rise between the younger and elder Batiatus, especially in the arena where the elder asserts his authority. The Roman women struggle with his persistent presence. At the market, Gaia introduces an acquaintance to Lucretia, who comments on the pleasures of her home, but the elder Batiatus disapproves of such indulgences. His son persuades him to leave for Neapolis on a pretext of buying new slaves, with Solonius as chaperone. The evening seems promising until Tullius arrives, seeking a duel with Gannicus, which the gladiator is commanded to lose. After recovering, Gannicus shares a moment with Melitta, but Gaia's underestimation of Tullius leads to her death. The elder Batiatus's sudden return complicates matters further for Lucretia.
