He was a slave who wanted freedom so it depends on how you look at him. I would say neither.
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.

I am not Spartucus How about, "Here lies Spartacus-he's dead!"
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.
The name "Spartacus" is a Latin name. It had no nationality as such. The rebel gladiator Spartacus was said to be from Thrace and also was said to have served in the Roman army. Many auxiliaries either Latinized their names or changed them completely to a Latin (Roman) name.
Spartacus, joined the Roman army at 63 BC. Spartacus was poor so he joined the Roman Army hoping he will able to fight for his freedom but, Spartacus was asked to march agaist he own people, meaning he will have to kill people in his hometown, Thrace. But Spartacus does not agree to fight/kill his own people like saying "No I'm no doing this" then he deserted.
