Spartacus became a gladiator when he was captured and trained. I know this is not a very specific answer, but we know very, very little about Spartacus, the man. We don't even know if "Spartacus" was his real name. He comes into history as a leader of a slave revolt and leaves history as a defeated enemy.
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 ancient writers say that Spartacus was a Thracian, so, if true, he would have lived in Thrace. (Ancient Thrace was loosely today's country of ROMANIA) However he was also a gladiator and the Thrax or Thracian was a type of gladiator. So its unclear if Spartacus was actually from the area of Thrace itself or if "Thracian" was his fighting style. Anyhow, right before his escape he was living in the gladiatorial school in Campania.
