Spartacus was one of the three leaders of the slave revolt historians call the Third Servile War. Some 200 gladiators escaped from a gladiatorial school. After they defeated two badly assembled Roman armed units, they were joined by 70,000 people. They were mostly slaves, but there were also some herdsmen. The Rebels ravaged the countryside of parts of Italy to obtain food and won other victories in fights against Roman military units, but then were routed by Marcus LIcinius Crassus who was given eight legions to put an end to the rebellion.

Who were Hannibal and spartacus?

The questions and answers previously given do not provide a reason for Rome's initial defeat by the army of Spartacus. The reason Rome lost the first encounter with Spartacus was Rome's expectation that Spartacus posed no serious threat and so the small force Rome sent to defeat Spartacus was defeated because Spartacus had 90,000 troops at his disposal.
