Spartacus is without question one of the most badass people in history, imagine leading an army of 100,000 plus with that many overwhelming victories, with no supply lines, no equipment, compromised of slaves who spoke different languages and were united only by their hatred of Rome. That's some next level G shit right there.

[@ktvindicare]

It's been over 2000 years and we're still idolizing Spartacus and his rebellion. So strong was what his rebellion symbolized: fighting for freedom in the face of overwhelming odds and oppression, that we'll probably still be telling his story 2000 years from now. A group of slaves, immortalized by history. There's so few stories that are as epic.

[@kharnthebetrayer8251]

Quite likely, he could have forced huge change on Rome with just 1 change. If they'd only killed cruel slave owners, Rome might have been forced to change their treatment of slaves. But they killed all the rich men they encountered, so Rome was able to see them as just bloodthirsty rebels, rather than people who were mistreated

[@ktvindicare]

@@kharnthebetrayer8251 It could be, that that's exactly what they did, but the numbers they killed were a result of how widespread the cruelty was. To this day, we have only vague accounts of how cruel the Romans actually were. We romanticize their achievements in literature, architecture and other things, but we tend to gloss over that it was slave labor that REALLY powered that empire. Spartacus is proof that there was resistance to that, and it was crushed with brutal torture and public executions. We know that happened. That''s part of the romantic story. So what about the rest of it? What was the rest of the Empire like? Historians are vague on that. We just do not know. History is violent, and cruel, beyond what we in the sheltered 21st century can even imagine.

[@kharnthebetrayer8251]

@@ktvindicare I do remember hearing somewhere that they killed everyone who had slaves, regardless of treatment. I think it was Lindybeige but not certain. And there was surely some who treated slaves well, or at least better than others. So if Spartacus and the Slaves had been thinking long term (which is understandable why they likely didnt) They could have found the ones that treated slaves decently, and left them alone. With how Stubborn Rone was, probably wouldn't have made a huge impact, but it's certainly possible that some kind of slave treatment reform could have happened because of the rebellions

@@samiamrg7 I think as this vid implied the dude was bitter over the general who came from the North mopping up fleeing slaves and claiming he ended the rebellion when Crassus did the actual battle.

I don’t think I’ve ever grown to admire a character as much as I have grown to admire Spartacus. Take a minute to ponder on the enormous legacy he left behind. A man who lived more than 2000 years ago and is still talked about. He refused to be treated in a manner akin to that of an animal; he believed that all human beings are worthy of respect, and that even slaves should be treated with kindness and compassion; had the Romans or any fortunate enough a human who was a master treated their subordinates with due respect, many wars would have been prevented. I hold to high regard his unwavering rejection of inhumane treatment and the shedding of blood for mere entertainment. Wherever you are right now Spartacus, rest assured your legacy still lives and that you are not lost down the memory lane 💙 - a fellow free soul 2000+ years later.

[@MVProfits]

I agree with your words, and it sure sounds nice. But the brutal reality is different than what we'd like. The rebels were all killed, with thousands of them crucified. Spartacus is remembered because his revolt was so effective for so long, and sadly... for how brutally it ended. The aftermath which is the fall of the Republic is some sweet irony though.

[@dimisivi]

Apart from the obvious changes that this rebellion brought to the Roman republic , It would be interesting to know at what extend this rebellion affected the Romans' perspective upon gladiators' recruit and training. Considering that only 70 or less gladiators managed to establish a rebellion by winning easily the first roman militia forces , we could assume that their fighting training was on a high level . Also , It is possible that most of the gladiators on this period had a battle experience as former soldiers who had been captured by the Romans during several wars. According to reliable historical sources and archaeological foundings , during the imperial period the gladiators were an elite class inside the slaves , gaining a great amount of money for their games in the arenas and being something like our nowadays football stars. Evenmore , It is known that the gladiatorial games during the imperial period had not a lethal purpose . In fact , only a 10% of the fighters were killed because of severe wounds and the dead gladiator's owner was receiving a compensation from the state for his loss . To all these above mentioned add the fact that gladiators served as special units in Roman army during this period in several occasions , epsecially on rebellions in the empire as an effective force in guerilla type warfare in exchange of land , political rights , even their freedom . So , these "military gladiators" were receiving an extra training of fighting to be capable in killing their opponents rather than just causing wounds to them as they did in the games . Taking all these into mind , we can safely assumed that this rebellion possibly changed once and for all the way that Romans were recruiting and training slaves to become gladiators . What is almost certain is that this rebellion changed the status of slavery in Roman society , forcing Romans to treat to their slaves with more care and interesting due to the fear of a new brutal rebellion. The vast numbers of slaves , eager to follow Spartacus to freedom , proves that leaving with their masters was unbearable. On the other hand , no major slave rebellion is mentioned in Roman history after this one and that could not be a result of fear but of social changes .

Love the topic of the Servile Wars! Spartacus was quite the heroic figure! Amazingly, he defeated consular armies 3 times! If he'd have turned northward at that point, history as we know it might be radically different.

Spartacus is probably the only world wide famous thing to come out from Bulgaria in ancient times but for some reason we never talk about him here. Seriously his story is truly epic.

[@happy4lol]

Could it be because records are unsure whether he was Thracian or just fought in a style called something alike Thracian (can't remember). His past is pretty much unknown.

[@loukaskaikas9218]

bulgaria did't exist when spartacus was still alive maybe he was thracian but he was't burgarian

[@Anonymous07192]

@@loukaskaikas9218 though that may be true, who else could legitimately take his legacy today if not the Bulgarians?

[@alketvedra3387]

​@@Anonymous07192 definitely not Bulgaria bruh They came in that region wayyy laterr

[@Anonymous07192]

@@alketvedra3387 When I say "Bulgaria" I mean the people who live in Bulgaria today, not the Bulgars who are just a part of the modern Bulgarian population. I don't understand why you think Bulgars committed industrial scale genocide when they came to the Balkans. They wouldn't have been able to do it even if they wanted to. The more likely case is that they mixed with the local population just like how the southern Slavs assimilated the Bulgars.

[@VoxFelis]

Love it. Also love the possibility that the idea of Spartacus being Thracian penned from his fighting type - The Thracian, and the man is still a massive mystery.

[@otgunz]

In sources he is described as being a Murmillo (fish man) gladiator not Thraex (Thracian) gladiator. He was from Thrace yet he was called "Spartacus" since he wasn't fighting as a Thraex calling him something like Thracius was not fitting. Gadiators were specialised according to their bodytype, weight, artistic and military background. So Murmillos were generaly heavier then most other types. Thraex and Secutor were lighter with smaller shields (ofcourse Thraex with the identical Thracian curved sword). Murmillo generaly fought against Thraex or an other Murmillo or some times Hoplomacus (the most heavily fitted spear wielding, Greek Hoplite mimicing one). Secutor fought against Retiarius (fish net and trident wielding one).

[@ericpolan1716]

@@historian252 Fair enough. It is a subjective opinion, of course.

[@worsethanjoerogan8061]

I think people might be attributing nobler motives to Spartacus than he actually had. He committed numerous atrocities himself and there's not much evidence his objective was the end slavery entirely.

In the words of Spartacus "Whatever happens, it happens because we choose for it. We decide our fates, not you, not the Romans... Not even the gods!" Plutarch, Appian and Florius all claim Spartacus died but his body was never found, so I assumed he was killed as you have stated trying to get to Crassus, or he was wounded and died of those or he went missing.
