Spartacus, Crixus and Oenomaus led fugitive slaves in a rebellion historians call the Third Servile War. The fugitives spent a lot of time pillaging the countryside and, sometimes, towns to feed themselves.
Spartacus applied unconventional tactics (Guerrilla Warfare) in fighting the Roman legions who were used to fighting on conventional terms .
Roman citizens did not join the slave armies of Spartacus. Spartacus and his followers were escaped slaves and malcontent men of the lower classes. They were fighting against the Roman citizens. Spartacus gained must of his followers by promising freedom and loot.
The gladiator named Spartacus led a slave rebellion that disrupted the normal life of the Roman Republic throughout what we now call Italy. The Romans were at first defeated by Spartacus because the Romans treated the rebels far too lightly. In the end the Senate appointed Crassus to lead Roman legions against Spartacus. He died in the fighting and many of his troops were crucified on the Appian Way which led to Spartacus' gladiator training city of Capua.
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.
