Spartacus's Rebellion Against The Roman Republic

Spartacus was a leader under the old Roman Republic. He is known for starting a rebellion against the Roman Empire in the Third Servile War. There are thoughts that have not been confirmed to this very day but one thing is for sure, Spartacus was able to share a vision with the slaves during the ancient times. There are arguments when it comes to the origins of him. Ancient historians believed that he was Thracian. A lot of authors have closed him in on so many origins that it became hard to keep track of them. Although, he is known to the world as a Thracian who later received training from the Roman army and was then sold to slavery.

Spartacus was sold to Lentulus Batiatus in 73 B.C. The training ground was located in Capua just 20 miles
It was under Crassus that the Roman Empire started gaining victories against the army of slaves. Spartacus was forced to camp near the Strait of Messina in Rhegium. It was also during this time that Crassus tasked his army to start a camp in the same area and attack the rebels and cut off their supplies. The army who fought in Spain was informed to aid Crassus in his pursuit to end the rebellion. Spartacus tried to bargain with Crassus and was unsuccessful. Some of Spartacus’ army fled to the mountains in Petelia. Spartacus brought his full force to make a last stand against the oncoming legions. He used the strength of his full army to bring the battle to an end. It was this time that a majority of slaves were killed.

In 71 BCE the final battle went down. It was also the year that the slaves’ rebellion was brought down and the death of Spartacus. There is not much on this great leaders death, but it is said he was killed in action. Not mentioned in the other paragraphs, but the story of, "I'm Spartacus! No, I'm Spartacus!" happened when their army was defeated, and Spartacus was asked to be brought forth, but slaves defended him. He was a great leader and helped many slaves escape, I think he died
