Initially the Roman response to Spartacus was to meet his army with their own. However the slave army defeated the Romans in several battles. This was not because the army of Spartacus was so good, it was because the Roman army was so bad. At the time of the Spartacus uprising Rome was fighting wars on two other fronts, in Spain and in the mideast against Mithridates. The well-trained "A" troops were engaged in those wars, leaving Italy defended by rookies and too few of them at that. It was not until Crassus was given command of the Roman army and he raised and trained six new legions that the Romans defeated Spartacus on the battlefield and punished some prisoners with crucifixion.

Why did the Romans want to capture spartacus?

Spartacus and his band were outlaws. They rampaged across the Italian countryside, killing, raping and robbing. That's why the Romans wanted to either capture or eliminate Spartacus and his band.Spartacus and his band were outlaws. They rampaged across the Italian countryside, killing, raping and robbing.

Did Spartacus actually live?

Spartacus is the greatest commander of a (slave) army. There are proper proofs that he was there by reading the existing parts of Plutarch and others. Most of the Romans were shy writing about him because it was an insult for the Romans that a gladiator was leading an army of slaves against them...
