Why did the visigoths rebel against Romans?

There was a first rebellion when the Visigoths were first allowed to settle in the lower Danube area of the Roman Empire. This was because there was a famine and the Visigoths did not receive any help. Then peace was made. Later, Alaric I, a Visigoth king, rebelled. The reasons for this are unclear. It has been speculated that Alaric wanted to become a general of the Roman army, but this was not granted.

Who was spartacus and what was he known for?

Spartacus was a Roman slave and gladiator who was the head of a slave rebellion against the Romans. He was very successful for a long time. That's about all we know about him. Historians are not even sure if Spartacus was his real name or a "stage name" he used during his gladiatorial career. They think he was a Thracian prisoner of war, but again, not sure of that either.


How did Spartacus impact the world?

Spartacus did not have much of an impact on the Roman empire. His figure was mythologised many centuries after the end of Roman civilisation by romantic intellectuals. We get minimal information about him from ancient Roman historians. He was one of the leaders (not the only leader) of the slave rebellion which has been called the Third Servile War (73-71 BC). The revolt scared the Romans, especially the senate. The slaves were successful for a couple of years against small forces of the Roman army and local militias and ravaged the countryside and pillaged a number of cities. However, it was finally suppressed by the deployment of a large amount of Roman troops. This was the biggest, but also the last slave rebellion in Roman history. Over time it got forgotten by the Romans.
