When we were yet of Batiatus ludas I told you that in another life we may have been as brothers, yet not in this one. Know that I was wrong and I will always hold you as such. Greatest series ever made. Watched it in 2010. Watching again in 2023 and many times in between. To my many my brothers in the comments! Stay free.

[@MrSmithOriginal]

Spartacus is one of the best historical series there has been. It's style is suitable for expounding on the fact that Rome was bloody and parts of it's moral or immoral character if you wish is beyond what can even be shown on video today at least in legal terms. It's writing was top notch and even though the main actor Andy Whitfield passed they were still able to replace him acceptably and end the series with honor and in an entertaining fashion. This is unheard of and too bad they could not have realized the HBO series Rome to the same extent. Thanks for the video.

[@ChuckHackney]

Agreed. I still binge watch every Friday nite or so...

[@m.cl.ballista4642]

What you never have thought is this: If Spartacus could turn around the Roman world And he could have the Romans as slaves he would have done that. His rebellion was not about stop slavery, but about to make another state out of Rome.

[@khal7702]

I lost interest in the show after Andy died, he was so good as Spartacus that the other guy...had no chance in my eyes.

@@m.cl.ballista4642 Did you even watch the video? It said Rome implemented new laws to ease the slaves' pain so they won't rebel like this again.

[@mrhumble2937]

Also Rome writes the history since they won, like Crasses loses the first battle his men retreating. Of course its written he didnt order the attack.

[@Khichira2012]

What a warrior, their rebellion really did a number on Rome and they even went down in legend

[@mrhumble2937]

Wish there was more history kept like with Caesers battles.

[@packfan1946]

I thoroughly enjoyed the full Spartacus series and last episode was incredible. Spartacus's death was treated also like when Christ was taken down from the Cross where he was surround by compatriots at his death and the clouds parted and sun shined upon him. I was blown away by that cause I was rooting for the army of slaves and not the Romans.

[@daddykool3290]

The HBO series follows these facts with embellishments but is mainly accurate. RIP Andy Whitfield.

[@MustafaGT]

I never understood why Spartacus just didn’t leave Italy. The man had fought his way out of chains and had so many opportunities to leave but I guess he really did think he could defeat the Romans which at the time it was just impossible to do with no professional army.

[@jamesgordon177]

correct me if im wrong but this doco says that was Spartacuses goal, but his co commanders seemed to want to stay and fight. And youd need to stay with ur men id almost garauntee you couldnt walk off on ur own back then he wouldve been found and tortured immediately.

[@mistasofly]

Crassus: It is unfortunate that you had not been born a Roman. We could have fought side by side as brothers. Spartacus: Then I thank the gods, that it was not so.

[@allmightlionthunder5515]

Spartacus: Most likely the same out come the civil wars that Rome had , Capua was a Greek colony where you think Rome got it all from

Since when Thrace is North Macedonia And why did you show the place of birth of Spartacus in Bulgaria but didn't mention it? How much did you get paid for that lie?

[@Omegalisk3]

Spartacus did not defeat the Roman Empire, he marauded within Italy during the Roman Republic, which was anything but "almighty". He was a trained soldier and an auxiliary of the Roman Army that broke his oath to his command and ended up in chains for it, which was appropriate for anyone who broke their commitments in ancient military orders. He was given the opportunity to have a place withing civilization. an opportunity anyone in his position would have dreamt of, but instead chose to rampage through Italy and slaughter innocent civilians along the way.

[@Monatio79]

No, he did not defeat the Roman Republic (the Empire wasn't around yet). But he is remembered even now as a symbol of the oppressed standing up to the oppressor, and has inspired many people since.
