Spartacus: The Slave Who Made Rome Tremble

Rome trained him to die in an arena. Instead, he built an army that defeated Roman forces and made the Republic fear the people it had enslaved. Discover the story of Spartacus, from his escape from a gladiator school in Capua to his final confrontation with Marcus Licinius Crassus. This historical documentary follows the Third Servile War: the daring escape from Mount Vesuvius, the rise of Crixus, the march toward the Alps, the betrayal by the pirates, and Rome’s brutal response. Why did Spartacus turn back? Was he planning to attack Rome? And how did a band of escaped gladiators become an army that Roman commanders struggled to defeat?
