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.

Spartacus became a gladiator when he was captured and trained. I know this is not a very specific answer, but we know very, very little about Spartacus, the man. We don't even know if "Spartacus" was his real name. He comes into history as a leader of a slave revolt and leaves history as a defeated enemy.
Spartacus defeated Lentulus first, who had attempted to surround the slaves, and then both the praetor Arrius and Gellius, who had recently slain Crixus and his Gauls.
It is not known. Spartacus was not the only leader of the revolt and there are two divergent accounts of the rebellion and not enough figures of casualties. Spartacus defeated a praetorian militia of some 3,000 men at the battle of Mount Vesuvius. A group of rebels was defeated by a consular legion the battle of Mount Garganus and its leader, Crixus, was defeated. According to one account Spartacus then defeated two consular legions. This would amount to some 10,000 men, but there are no figures bout the number of casualties. According to the other account Spartacus defeated only one consular army and later was engaged by two legions further north in Italy and defeated them. The Romans had limited forces available to them because they were engaged in two wars, one in Spain and one in Turkey. Eventually, the Romans gathered a force of eight legions (32,000-48,000 men). Spartacus was defeated and 6.000 of his men were killed. He escaped, but was defeated again, with the loss of 12,000 men and 6,000 prisoners were crucified.
