This is Spartacus. According to the surviving sources, Spartacus was from Thrace, an area in southeast Europe that the Romans were often trying to subjugate during the first century B.C.. He appears to have served in a Roman auxiliary unit for a time, deserted and became either a bandit or insurgent against the Romans.
Sparta (Doric Greek: ÏÏÎ¬ÏÏÎ±, SpÃ¡rtÄ; Attic Greek: ÏÏÎ¬ÏÏÎ·, SpÃ¡rtÄ) was a prominent city-state in ancient Greece. In antiquity the city-state was known as Lacedaemon (Î»Î±ÎºÎµÎ´Î±Î¯Î¼ÏÎ½, LakedaÃ­mÅn), while the name Sparta referred to its main settlement on the banks of the Eurotas River in Laconia, in south-eastern Peloponnese. Around 650 BC, it rose to become the dominant military land-power in ancient Greece.
