The significance of Spartacus was that he was one of the lthree eaders of the last of the slave rebellions which occurred during the period of the Roman Republic. Historians call it the Third Servile War. The rebels managed to defeat Roman military units and ravage the countryside of parts of Italy to procure food for two years. They were then routed by Marcus Licinius Crassus who was given eight legions to put an end to the rebellion. Spartacus died in the final battle. There were not any further slave rebellions and Spartacus did not leave a lasting legacy. The rebellion did give the Romans a big fright.

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.
