How did spartacus escape?
Spartacus escaped in 1983 when he led 80 other slaves in the third serville war with the Romans
What did the Romans do in responce to spartacus?
Initially the Roman response to Spartacus was to meet his army with their own. However the slave army defeated the Romans in several battles. This was not because the army of Spartacus was so good, it was because the Roman army was so bad. At the time of the Spartacus uprising Rome was fighting wars on two other fronts, in Spain and in the mideast against Mithridates. The well-trained "A" troops were engaged in those wars, leaving Italy defended by rookies and too few of them at that. It was not until Crassus was given command of the Roman army and he raised and trained six new legions that the Romans defeated Spartacus on the battlefield and punished some prisoners with crucifixion.

What is the enemy of a dingo?
The only enemy of the dingo is people. Being at the top of the food chain, healthy adult dingoes do not have any other natural predators. Man could be considered an enemy of the dingo.
What was religion that roman leader considered a problem and why?
They reacted harshly against any religion which they considered was promoting revolution. First it was the Bacchanalians in the Second Century BCE. Later th Christians came under suspicion, as unlike honest worshipers who went to temples they met in private houses and had cannibalistic ceremonies of eating human flesh and drinking human blood. This sort of activities smacked of conspirators committing sacrileges so that they could not rat on each other as they faced the death penalty for the sacrilege. Also they were the Nazorean sect of Judaism until the Jews expelled them in the 90s CE to avoid Roman suspicion of them as well as the Christians. The results were the purges.
How many Romans died in the different battles with Spartacus?
It is not known. Spartacus was not the only leader of the revolt and there are two divergent accounts of the rebellion and not enough figures of casualties. Spartacus defeated a praetorian militia of some 3,000 men at the battle of Mount Vesuvius. A group of rebels was defeated by a consular legion the battle of Mount Garganus and its leader, Crixus, was defeated. According to one account Spartacus then defeated two consular legions. This would amount to some 10,000 men, but there are no figures bout the number of casualties. According to the other account Spartacus defeated only one consular army and later was engaged by two legions further north in Italy and defeated them. The Romans had limited forces available to them because they were engaged in two wars, one in Spain and one in Turkey. Eventually, the Romans gathered a force of eight legions (32,000-48,000 men). Spartacus was defeated and 6.000 of his men were killed. He escaped, but was defeated again, with the loss of 12,000 men and 6,000 prisoners were crucified.
Who would win gannicus vs spartacus?
Historical events showed Gannicus as one of the rebel commanders under the leadership of Spartacus. Spartacus outlast all of his commanders during the 3rd serville war. I believe Spartacus tactics in combat would have given him the edge if pitted against any of the other gladiator commanders.
How did spatacus die?
Spartacus died by a Roman senator called Crassus, He crucified Spartacus along with 6000 other slaves. This was to warn slaves not to try and destroy the Roman Empire. Hope this helps :)
What was Spartacus's last name?
There is no other name on record except Spartacus. Almost nothing is known of the man before his enslavement. Also we don't even know if "Spartacus" was the man's real name. It could very well have been a pseudonym that he used. The name Spartacus connoted the city of Sparta, known for its fighters, and would fit very well as a stage name for a gladiator.
How did the romans feel about people who followed religions other than roman religion?
The Romans were tolerant of other religions and many times found foreign gods were actually the same gods that the Romans worshiped only they had different names and sometimes different rites. They only clamped down on cults that they considered treasonous or decadent.
