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.

I am doing a report on Spartacus for my Social Studies project. From the information I have read I believe he was born in 109 B.C. and died in 71 B.C.
I got this information from the link below:
www.hyperhistory.com/online_n2/people_n2/ppersons2_n2/spartacus.html\ This is if you are talking about the Spartacus who was a gladiator/slave during the Roman civilization.
Spartacus is thought to have been born in Thrace, which is roughly modern Bulgaria.
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.

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.
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.
Spartacus to the Gladiators at Capua was created in 1842.
