Romans against former Roman slaves
Romans- Marcus Licinius Crassus, Claudius Glaber, Pompey, Mummius, and several other leaders, Roman legions and militia
Slaves- shepherds, herdsman, gladiators, slaves, Spartacus, Crixus, and several other leaders
The Servile Wars were thee separate and unrelated rebellions. In the third one, was the biggest one. Escaped gladiators gathered 120,000 slaves. They were an effective fighting force which defeated Roman army detachments sent against them. They also pillaged the countryside and looted towns. This lasted for three years. The Romans had to assemble 8 legions to defeat them.
The third Servile war was the war with Spartacus. Spartacus is a shadowy historical figure. We know little about him except that he was possibly some sort of military person who was enslaved and sold to a gladiatorial school. He and some companions escaped, induced other slaves to join them and rampaged and pillaged up and down Italy while the main body of Roman troops were away fighting wars on two distant fronts. It wasn't until Crassus raised and trained 6 legions that Spartacus was defeated and the war ended. Crassus crucified 5,000 of the escaped slave prisoners along the Appian Way. There were no more slave uprisings after this.

In the Third Servile War (73-71 BC), also called the Gladiator War and the War of Spartacus, a band of escaped slaves and gladiators gradually grew into a mass of over 120,000 men, women and children. They carried out raids throughout Italy with impunity. They had several leaders including Spartacus. They were a surprisingly effective armed force and repeatedly defeated the Roman militia and legions. Interpretation of this rebellion varied. Plutarch saw it as an attempt by the slaves to escape their masters and flee to Gaul. Appian and Florus saw it as a civil war in which the slaves wanted to capture the city of Rome. The Senate was worried about the continued military successes of this band, and its pillaging of the countryside and cities. Rome mobilised eight legions which finally defeated the rebels.
