The famous slave revolt of 73 BC (or, BCE) was primarily led by Spartacus. Generally considered to be of Thracian origin, Spartacus was one of several leaders of the uprising that took place in central Italy and enjoyed remarkable growth and military success as various Roman armies attempted unsuccessfully to crush it. In 71 BC (or, BCE), however, the revolt came to its end at the hands of more capable Roman forces, with Spartacus apparently killed, although his body was never found.

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.
