User:Jpinskey17/Spartacus

At it's height Spartacus led an army derived of many different people, Celts, Gauls, and more. Also due to Social War, some of Spartacus' ranks were legion veterans. Of the slaves that joined Spartacus ranks, they were from the countryside. The rural slave lived a life in the frontier thus better equipping themselves to march with Spartacus' army. In contrast, urban slaves were more suited for city life, being considered "privileged" and "lazy." Of the people who fought in Spartacus' army, it shows that the revolt did not have the goal of freeing all slaves.
