Yes, he is still clouded with his thoughts of melitta so he goes back in the arena and ends up encountering Spartacus when they come and free slaves to grow in numbers
Enslaved people lacked alternatives. They could take the chance to run to become free, but most did not survive this journey, so they chose to remain slaves.

Spartacus, the Greek Thracian gladiator. Born 111 BC died 71 BC
There are no freed slaves remaining on the farm where they had worked as slaves. After emancipation, freed slaves were free to leave the farms where they were enslaved.
First of all, Spartacus' rebellion gave the slaves of Rome another point of view on slavery. Being true that slaves were aware of freedom, they did not dare to defy Roman law. Even those who were enslaved in captivity during war, who most craved freedom did not find it possible to escape into freedom. Spartacus broke the paradigma many slaves were chained to, and proved that being free of roman law was possible. Spartacus´rebellion also decrease the ammount of slaves Rome had to about 100,000 less. This weakend Rome´s economy, and forced the Empire to take more precautions with the slaves. This made slavery much more expensive and selective, which gradually made the slave system inefficient and undesirable.
Being free was his initial reason for taking the chance and leading the revolt against the Romans. However his reason for wanting that freedom is obscure. Freedom in itself was not so highly prized in the time of Spartacus, as slavery was an established fact of life and many slaves lived better than many freeborn men. It seemed that Spartacus and his army didn't have a plan or an objective except to loot and pillage.
Ancient Rome's vast expanse of territory was home to slaves almost anywhere one looked. After the revolt of Spartacus, I am not aware of any benefits that came about. The slaves were treated harshly and they eventually became a problem based on economics as slaves were used as field workers on large estates, thereby making free Roman citizens hard pressed at times to find work.
