"Ashur" is also the Hebrew name for "Assyria". Ashur comes from Assyria, and some Assyrians were Jews. He also fulfills many stereotypes of the Greedy Jew, being a duplicitous money-grubber who is physically inferior to the other gladiators.

Ambiguously Jewish: Ashur uses the biblical metaphor "forbidden fruit" in regards to Naevia.Affirmative Action Girl: The series adds plenty of female characters to the male-dominated traditional story.Affably Evil: Batiatus loves his wife, dreams of being a father, and does some pretty awful things to his peers and slaves alike.Even John Hannah executes a slo-mo kick at one point. Adrenaline Time: At least once per fight scene.Spartacus: Blood and Sand provides examples of: Tropes used in Spartacus: Blood and Sand include: PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted.Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed.
