Yes, for freedom
The name "Spartacus" is a Latin name. It had no nationality as such. The rebel gladiator Spartacus was said to be from Thrace and also was said to have served in the Roman army. Many auxiliaries either Latinized their names or changed them completely to a Latin (Roman) name.

As the title should tell you, the movie Spartacus is about the gladiator who escaped along with others and terrorized Italy. Much of the movie versions of Spartacus are fictionalized as very little is actually known about the person called Spartacus.
The ancient writers say that Spartacus was a Thracian, so, if true, he would have lived in Thrace. (Ancient Thrace was loosely today's country of ROMANIA) However he was also a gladiator and the Thrax or Thracian was a type of gladiator. So its unclear if Spartacus was actually from the area of Thrace itself or if "Thracian" was his fighting style. Anyhow, right before his escape he was living in the gladiatorial school in Campania.
The producer has made the statement that Spartacus will go to 5-7 seasons.
The gladiators trained in their "ludi" or schools, under the instruction of their trainers, who were either ex-gladiators themselves, or specialists in some category of combat brought in by the owner of the school.

Michael Corrado goes by Spartacus.
The Romans could cuss with the best of them. They used swear words before, during and after the days of Spartacus. But you won't find examples in your high school Latin books.
Spartacus was not accused of anything. He was part of some 200 gladiators who escaped from a gladiatorial school and during the course of their escape enlisted thousands of slaves and fought Roman militia and small army units.

Spartacus kills his best friend to spare him of the agonies of crucifixion. This happened after the Spartacus slave army was defeated and Spartacus and his friend were captured.
