Spartacus Rebellion.

[Hasdrubal]

Spartacus wars was the third servile war, and the biggest out of the three. It was the last of the slave revolts in Rome that had any significance. Very little is known about it. Julius Caesar was supposedly recruited by Marcus Licinius Crassus, but that's not 100% for sure.

I remember reading it from Plutarch's books and it's been an awful long time since I've read them. I've never read Appian's historys, and I believe he may have some things on it as well.

Spartacus did do some significant damage and even defeated some of Romes legions, but that's mainly due to the Rome's Generals being careless and making poor decisions.

Spartacus last stand I believe if I'm correct was at Siler river. However his body was never found. All I know is Crixus was defeated by Gellius early on, Spartacus was all over Italy pillaging I suppose beat Gellius Lentulus, and engaged Crassus, and Spartacus's Army was defeated. I believe Pompey may have even taken credit for the defeat of Spartacus, even though he just caught off some of Spartacus's people that parted from the main Army.

Someone may be able to shed some more light on the subject.
