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.

When did spartacus and varinia first meet?
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.
