Yes, Spartacus was a very good person, but, like all heroes, he had a tragic flaw - his desire to rule the Roman Empire after ravaging the countryside and marching on Rome. But a senior, chubby bloke named Crassus marched to Mount Vesuvius and smashed their dreams. With it, over 1 million gladiators were disappointed, although they eventually died. On the Appian Way.
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 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.
Spartacus, joined the Roman army at 63 BC. Spartacus was poor so he joined the Roman Army hoping he will able to fight for his freedom but, Spartacus was asked to march agaist he own people, meaning he will have to kill people in his hometown, Thrace. But Spartacus does not agree to fight/kill his own people like saying "No I'm no doing this" then he deserted.

In 109 B.C. When was Spartacus Born? Good question - difficult answer! The Romans documented the slave rebellion led by the Roman slave but naturally the authors of the day wrote about their own commanders and their victories, so factual information about Spartacus is somewhat limited. So back to the question "When was Spartacus Born?". The most popular date given by historians for the year he was born is 109BC.

Kirk Douglas originated the concept of making a film about the gladiator slave Spartacus.

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.
Oh--Kay---- it sounds a if you have been taken in with fiction. In reality, there is no such person as Varinia who was the wife of Spartacus. Varinia is a made up name that the screen writer of the original Spartacus movie concocted. According to Barry Strause in his book on Spartacus, we have no idea of his wife's name. The ancient authorities seem to agree that Spartacus had a wife, but weather she was a Thracian witch, or just a slave woman from Italy is not agreed upon. It is very easy to get caught up in the fiction regarding Spartacus and sometimes difficult to separate fact from hype.
