Postera (Hercules: The Legendary Journeys)

Postera (Alison Bruce) is an evil villainess in the 1995 episode "Gladiator" for the TV series "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys".
Postera was the wife of Menas Maxius (Ian Mune), the governor of Apropos. She was a vicious, sadist, who delighted in the torment of slaves who were made to fight in gladiatorial games. The slaves were pitted against animals in a fight to the death, but the evil Postera grew bored of these contests and told Maxius she wanted something more exciting. Postera got her wish as slaves were then made to fight each other to the death instead. 
When Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) allowed himself to be imprisoned in order to find Gladius (Tony Todd), Postera took a liking to him and offered him the chance to become her personal slave. Hercules responded with "I'd rather sleep in a dungeon with rats, than share satin pillows with a viper".
When Hercules refused, she had Bellicus (Jeffrey Thomas), the lead guard, give him fort lashes. He was then led to a dungeon where he could get his wish.
Later in the arena, Hercules and Leutis refuse to fight one another to the death, even after Postera ordered them to fight. She later orders that they both be killed. Back in the arena, Postera warns Gladius that if he refuses to fight, then Felicita (Kyrin Hall) would go back to her old life, and his son would become her personal slave.
Bellicus was later killed by Hercules when he refused to surrender. Postera and her husband were forced while under the sword to proclaim all the slaves free. As soon as this was done, they were driven into "voluntary" exile from their kingdom.
