The Red Serpent
Illythia went to Thrace where her husband was campaigning against Mitridates. She then visited her husband bringing him a gift of wine and herself in bed. While there she convinced her husband to march his army against Mithradates and gain the glory he deserves that will also gain favor from her father. She then returned to Capua to await her husband which returned shortly after her visit because of a mass desertion in his auxillary force. While in Capua the two attended the games hosted by her father Albinius where Claudius planned to have his deserters executed. During the final execution one of his deserters, Spartacus, managed to kill his executors and was sold to the Lanista Quintus Lentulus Batiatus.
