We don't know. All we actually know about him is that he was from Thrace, and led a slave revolt. The name Spartacus may not even have been his real name. It sounds very much like a stage name, taken from the Spartans who were renown for their fighting. This would be a great stage name for a gladiator.

Why was Spartacus named Spartacus?

If Spartacus was his real name his parents gave it to him, just as our parents name us. If it was a name given to him by the owner of his gladiatorial school, it was more than likely a name associated with a Spartan, which has a connotation of a strong fighter.


When did spartacus and varinia first meet?

Oh--Kay---- it sounds a if you have been taken in with fiction. In reality, there is no such person as Varinia who was the wife of Spartacus. Varinia is a made up name that the screen writer of the original Spartacus movie concocted. According to Barry Strause in his book on Spartacus, we have no idea of his wife's name. The ancient authorities seem to agree that Spartacus had a wife, but weather she was a Thracian witch, or just a slave woman from Italy is not agreed upon. It is very easy to get caught up in the fiction regarding Spartacus and sometimes difficult to separate fact from hype.


What happened to spartacus' wife?
