"The Spoils" is the eleventh episode of the first season of the television series Rome.
While Pullo descends into Erastes' netherworld, Vorenus negotiates a severance for veteran soldiers on behalf of Caesar, who invites him and Niobe to one of Atia's parties. Cassius attempts to convince Brutus that the life and death of the Republic is indeed "in your hands."

- While not specifically named, it would appear from the timing and the settlement of the men in Narbo that at least some of the soldiers being settled were those of the Legio X Equestris. Legio XIII Gemina (the often named 13th Legion) was also disbanded and settled at this time, although on better lands within Italy.
- Caesar was appointed Dictator for life.
- The "gladiator" scene in this episode, like the original battle scene in The Stolen Eagle might be viewed as having parallels with the story of the historical Titus Pullo and Lucius Vorenus in Julius Caesar's De Bello Gallico.
