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.

Spartacus' army was trained but there were just too many Romans to fight in that final battle..
