Spartacus was a slave forced to become a gladiator. In 73 BC, Spartacus led a slave revolt into Rome. I won&#8217;t tell you any further details, but it&#8217;s probably obvious as to what happens to the rebellion. To this day, historians can only speculate about Spartacus&#8217;s motives to lead the rebellion. Did he have the noble amibition to abolish slavery? Or was he just so angry that he wanted revenge upon Rome? The image of Spartacus still transcends time. It&#8217;s been said that famous people like Karl Marx and Che Guevara listed Spartacus as one of their heroes.<\/p>\n<p>So what do you think? Is he the hero of the masses or just another villain? Maybe something in between?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s a drama series called Spartacus: Blood and Sand that&#8217;s supposed to depict the real-life slave, Spartacus.
