Photo: StarzOn Spartacus: House of Ashur, Julius Caesar and his wife Cornelia pay a visit to the House of Ashur. They look down at Ashur, his school, his home, and the people of Capua, including the upper class like Cossutia and Viridia.

I talked to Jamie Slater, who plays Cornelia, Julius Caesar’s wife, about why Cornelia and Caesar are so affectionate, why Cornelia looks down on everyone, including Hilaria, Viridia, and Ashur, and how she prepared for the role.

Spartacus: House of Ashur is now streaming on Starz with new episodes Fridays.
