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.
If you are referring to Sparta, the Greek city state, it never defeated the Romans. If you are referring to Spartacus, he defeated the consular armies of Lucius Gellius Publicola and Gnaeus Cornelius Lentulus Clodianus.

The questions and answers previously given do not provide a reason for Rome's initial defeat by the army of Spartacus.

Historical events showed Gannicus as one of the rebel commanders under the leadership of Spartacus. Spartacus outlast all of his commanders during the 3rd serville war. I believe Spartacus tactics in combat would have given him the edge if pitted against any of the other gladiator commanders.

In 109 B.C. When was Spartacus Born? Good question - difficult answer! The Romans documented the slave rebellion led by the Roman slave but naturally the authors of the day wrote about their own commanders and their victories, so factual information about Spartacus is somewhat limited. So back to the question "When was Spartacus Born?". The most popular date given by historians for the year he was born is 109BC.
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.
