Spartacus can be considered important because he is one of those historical characters we know virtually nothing about, so we can read anything into or interpret his actions to suit our own purposes. For example, some hold his rampage across Italy as a statement for freedom, the triumph of the human spirit, while others consider him a thug bent on destroying and devastating. At any rate, in his own time he served as a reminder to the Romans of what could happen. Thus the severe punishments for the captured to serve as a warning to any others contemplating similar actions. It worked, as there were no more slave revolts.

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.
