#SPARTACUS SEASON 1 CHARACTERS HOW TO#

When Spartacus had a considerable amount of his men with him, they stormed into Glaber's camp, which was easy for them as no trench work had been constructed, thanks to Glaber's ignorance and overconfidence. This was when he had an idea: gather enough wood and weeds to weave together a number of vines for him and his men to climb down the mountain with. They needed a way to get down the mountain (the only known entrance being blocked byВ Glaber's troops). Spartacus had smaller numbers than Glaber's collected cohorts, which drove Spartacus and his men aboveВ Vesuvius. He heard of Vesuvius either from his days as a bandit, from his service to Sulla during the Social War (depending on whether he did any of these things), or simply heard about it from other slaves. But eventually they left and he choseВ Mount Vesuvius as a base of operations. The rebels remained in Capua for a small amount of time plundering, liberating any slaves they could find and sometimes slaughtering slave owners and burning down villa's.

After much effort, theВ gladiators made their escape, but out of 200 of his brothers, only sixty survived, with around twenty house slaves. PersuadingВ Crixus,В OenomausВ andВ Gannicus, they began the Third Servile War, using kitchen implements and chopping knives to make theirВ escape. In the early weeks of 73 BC, he decided that should he die fighting, it would not be in the arena. But having theВ life of a Gladiator, having to fight to the death for the entertainment of others, was something SpartacusВ despised. Spartacus was trained as a Gladiator, in the style of Murmillo, and won many victories in the Arena, becoming popular attraction along with his the GaulВ Crixus. Taken to Italy, he was then brought from the slave ports ofВ Neapolis to the City ofВ Capua, where he was sold toВ Lentulus Batiatus, a lanista. Without any hesitation, he took his change to desert and make it back to his village where he andВ his wife went north, but not before being recognized, captured and finally enslaved by Roman troops. Spartacus soon learned that the Romans were making him fight against his own people. One theory of his service was that he served under Lucius Cornelius Sulla in the Social War, under the command of Sulla and a future opponent of his, Marcus Licinius Crassus. Spartacus would learn much about the Romans and their army during his service. Spartacus was probably not his real name, just given to him as a gladiator later on in his life, however he was said to be of royal descent.ДЄt one point, his tribe was visited by the Roman legions.В Spartacus chose to join the Roman army, either for glory, for money, or to fight against the warring tribes. He supposedly lived and worked as a shepherd in the lands ofВ Thrace.

He grew up in an unknown tribe in Thrace, learning from a young age how to fight, as well as herd. Spartacus was said to have been born in 109 BC in Thrace (modern day Bulgaria).

Spartacus became the leader of the rebellion, commanding over 60,000 escaped slaves from 73 BC to 71 BC. In 75 BC, Spartacus and Tresura were brought to the city of Capua and sold to the Lanista Gnaeus Cornelius Lentulus Batiatus.ДЇor the next two years, he and his wife served Batiatus, with Spartacus becoming a prominent and famed Gladiator in the Arena, alongside his future commanders Crixus, Oenomaus, GannicusВ and Castus.ДЄt the start of 73 BC, Spartacus and the other GladiatorsВ broke outfrom the ludus, beginning an armedВ rebellionВ against theВ Roman Republic, which would come to be known as theВ Third Servile War.

He would soon join the Roman legionaries, serving in the Auxiliary. He was once aВ herdsman and farmer from the lands of Thrace, and a member of the Maedi tribe.
