Actress Katrina Law from the TV series Spartacus: Vengeance wearing a Gold and Glam leather jacket, Killer couture jeans, and an AMI necklace in Regard magazine. Katrina Law is of German, Italian and Taiwanese descent and represented the American state of New Jersey in the Miss Teen USA Pageant....she's also a singer and dancer. Being from New Jersey, Katrina told Maxim about her fitness inspiration from a movie shot in that city: "I'm a huge fan of Rocky and often work out to the soundtrack as motivation." For getting in shape for Spartacus, Katrina Law tells TV Equals: "I did gladiator boot-camp for two weeks beforehand with the boys and the stunt team and the rest of the gladiators and I was the only woman that was there. So, that was interesting. And then in that we do gut drills, sprints, the circle of death, races, circuit training and all this other stuff. Then after that we have floor practice and bow and arrow practice."

Speaking to AfterEllen Katrina maintained that while the women of Spartacus were subjugated in the show: "I think this is a great series for women to be on because we do get a lot of range. We do get to express a lot of our sensuality, our power, and get to explore that side, and we don't have to stand in the background." Right, Katrina Law in Maxim India, wearing a Van Heusen blue cardigan and Calvin Klein underwear. She told the mag: "When it comes to nudity and sexuality of the show, I think of it as if I'm in a big pool of ice cold water and I just have to dive into it head first and get it over with." The show does have a lot of nudity, but not only for women as Katrina told TV Equals: "All the boys dropped their cloths and I was suddenly staring at eight penises and I didn't know that was going to happen in the middle of a scene and I suddenly didn't know where to look."
Speaking of muscled gladiators and their diet and fitness, a study by forensic doctors at Austria's Institute of Archeology found that gladiators had a vegetarian diet! "Tests performed on bits of bone taken from the skeletons of some 70 gladiators buried at Ephesus seem to prove that they ate mainly barley, beans and dried fruit," said Karl Grosschmidt. So all the lean and muscular bodies came from a mostly vegetarian diet and grueling workouts, while the soft and fat bodies of the rich Romans came from gluttony and inactivity. While ordinary Romans ate oatmeal, wheat and barley, bread soaked in olive oil, and apples, pears, dried plums and raisins, the rich gorged themselves on pork, lamb, cheese and high-fat foods. The lesson for today's world is for us to be physically active and eat less meat.
