Spartacus is the greatest commander of a (slave) army. There are proper proofs that he was there by reading the existing parts of Plutarch and others. Most of the Romans were shy writing about him because it was an insult for the Romans that a gladiator was leading an army of slaves against them...

∙ 13y agoYes, a man called Spartacus actually lived and led a slave revolt against the Romans. That much we know for a fact. There is a lot we do not know about him, including his background, or even if Spartacus was his real name. As he was a gladiator, Spartacus could very well have been a "stage name" coming from the Greek city of Sparta which was famous for its fighters.
