How did Spartacus organize his gladiators\' army?
#1
When Spartacus revolted with his fellow partners the gladiators of Capua, he had about 10 000 fugitives before there were added more than half a million men to his so called "army". They were slaves, men who had never pick up a sword, while, on the other hand, there were the best fighters of Italy, the gladiators. How did Spartacus organized his army? I heard that he organized his men into cohorts like a true roman army, but how did he put bloody gladiators to such "civilized" army?
