Plebs - Season 1 (2013)

Rome, 27 B.C. - Young scribe Marcus falls for new neighbour Cynthia, a Briton, and to impress her asks lazy slave Grumio to clean the dog poo from her doorstep. Marcus's sex-mad colleague and house-mate Stylax is anxious for them to respond to an invitation to an orgy so Marcus invites Cynthia, trusting she will not know what it will be like. Grumio, however, accidentally lets slip to Metella, Cynthia's sarcastic slave, the nature of the gathering whilst Stylax is forced by his boss, Flavia, to attend. Thus Stylax ends up cage-fighting whilst Marcus must watch his ...

The boys are introduced to Cynthia's new boyfriend Cassius, a friendly local gladiator. Everyone's charmed apart from Marcus who hopes that, one way or another, their relationship will be short-lived. Stylax plays a prank on Aurelius which gets out of hand.

Stylax buys Grumio an erotic vase for his birthday featuring a character who bears a striking resemblance to someone nearby. Marcus has done nothing for his slave and, under pressure from the girls, suggests they swap roles for the day. Stylax hangs out with his cousin Lucretia, with whom he has an unusually close relationship.
