First of all, it was not Spartacus' uprising. Historians call it the Third Servile (slave) War, which was the third of a series of unconnected slave revolts during the period of the Roman Republic. It started with 200 gladiators escaping a gladiatorial school in Capua (near Naples) which was the second largest city in Italy at the time. The fugitives defeated two poorly assembled Roman armed forces. Following this they were joined by some 70,000 slaves. These gladiators had three main leaders, Crixus, Oenomaus and Spartacus. Spartacus became the sole main leader after the other two men died in battle. There were also two breakaway leaders: Castus and Gannicus.
The Rebels were routed by Marcus Licinius Crassus in the final battle. Pompey the Great was sent to the battlefront to bring reinforcements. He encountered a group of rebels who had fled the battle and captured 5,000 of them. Pompey claimed the credit for ending the rebellion. This infuriated Crassus
