Spartacus did not defeat Marcus Licinius Crassus, who, with a massive force of eight legions, routed him and his men. Pompey the Great was sent with reinforcements. He did not actually engaged in any battle, but moped up some 5000 fugitives from the battle with Crassus and he (undeservedly) claimed that he was the one who ended the war.
