During the events of Rome: Season 2 Episode 2 Son of Hades played by Alan Williams

Acerbo is invited to a parlay meeting declared by Head Priest along with Memmio, Hannibal Cotta, Gaul Boss, Veteran Boss and Quintus Boss. Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo arrive and Lucius introduces himself. Lucius declares that the war over territory has been declared over by order of Mark Antony and Lucius says that as the killer of Erastes Fulmen he claims ownership of the Aventine Collegium and that ownership of the Aventine belongs to him. Acerbo says he cannot claim ownership and Lucius offers the captains that once order is restored in the Aventine then they will be paid a certain amount. Acerbo initially refuses the offer and Lucius tells them all that those who oppose him will be his enemy and killed. He then smashes the statue of Concordia, declares the truce lifted, pulls out a sword and asks Acerbo once more if he will work with him, and Acerbo accepts.

Lucius holds a meeting with Memmio, Acerbo, Hannibal Cotta and Gaul Boss, in which he gives them each a list of ten prominent members of Roman society with orders to kill them and to take from them what they wish. Lucius also recommends that they use some of the loot to give free fish and bread to the people during the Festival of Pomona, but Acerbo resists.
