The slave revolt led by Spartacus was successful for two years because of his strong leadership skills, strategic military tactics, and the unity among the rebel slaves. Spartacus was able to inspire and organize a large army of slaves who fought together against their oppressors, often outmaneuvering and defeating Roman forces. Additionally, Spartacus and his followers were able to secure resources and support from local communities, allowing them to sustain their rebellion for an extended period of time.

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.


Is Spartacus a plebeian or a patrician?

Neither. I think he was a slave of Thracian origin.


Who lead a group of enslaved African-Americans in rebellion against their slaveholders in 1831?

Why do you think the slave revolt led by Spartacus was successful for two years?

the answer isn't easy. Spartacus managed to defeat both Publicola and Cliodanus without Crixus' help. I suppose in the final battle it was quantity that won over quality. Crixus had left Spartacus with thousands of rebels, and they were all killed, so Spartacus' army became smaller after their first defeat. Crassus brought 6 legions (54,000 Roman soldiers) to defeat Spartacus, so Spartacus had to use what he had left, which wasn't enough. Spartacus' army was trained but there were just too many Romans to fight in that final battle..

Was spartacus right to do what he did?

Depends on what you think is 'right'. Spartacus led on of several Roman slave revolts. War slavery 'right'? Was a revolt which saw to slaughter of tens of thousands on both sides 'right'. Should Rome have allowed him to take over Rome because he thought it was 'right'.

Who is Spartacus?

Spartacus was an escaped slave/gladiator who led a slave revolt against the Romans. He was eventually defeated by Crassus and crucified. That's all we really know about him. Historians think he was a Thracian, but that may be because he fought in the arena as a "Thracian" style gladiator. We also don't know if "Spartacus" was his actual name. To many it sounds like a professional name coming from Sparta or the Spartans who were known as fearless fighters.
