Spartacus – Is Hollywood Corre

Hollywood has created many historical movies and often they are created inaccurately, in the case of “Spartacus” (1960) clearly the director, designers and the writers did their homework.

In the film, Spartacus begins is bought as a slave and transferred to Gladiator school where he leads a group of slaves into revolt to escape and form an army of slaves. Their army gradually began to grow in size as other runaway slaves joined the battle against Rome. In the end, Spartacus led his army of 120 000 men in a final battle against Rome, which resulted in him being crucified along with 35 000 of the other survivors of the battle along the roadside. Historically, Spartacus was originally a soldier in the Roman army, who deserted to become a robber. He was then captured and forced into slavery and sent to a Roman Gladiator school at Capua. He broke out of the school, killing their master with kitchen knives, then leading the slave revolt alongside two Gaul’s, Oenomaus and Crixus, ending with Spartacus being stricken on the battlefie
