Spartacus was a gladiator who revolted with other slaves against Italy and the city of
Rome. He marched all across the Roman Empire recruiting slaves into his slave army. The
slave army burned cities and towns in the Roman Empire in revolt to their confinement. This
started the Third Servile War against the rebels. Spartacus and his slave army aimed to
escape from the Roman Empire to freedom. There fate changed when Spartacus their
leader decided to turn back, as a result the entire slave was army was trapped and fell to
the Roman army. This is all because Spartacus made a bad decision of turning back
when success was so imminent, so what became of Spartacus and his slave army.
It was a cold winter in the Alps. The slaves are at their encampment. The slave
soldiers are tired and overworked from the previous encounterment with the roman army.
The slave army was on their way to march out of the Alps to freedom. At the encampment
Spartacus is inside rethinking his decision. He hopes of escaping the Roman Empire
according to him a less risky way.
Spartacus ponders about his success of defeating the Roman armies against them.
Spartacus also ponders about something else. He has heard that another army from Spain
is coming his way. Spartacus also realizes that if he turns back the Roman army will
intercept and destroy the slave army. He will have to make the that critical decision.
In simpler terms the decision is either a hit or miss. The entire fate of the slaves rests in his
hands. Finally, after many hours Spartacus commands his men to turn back. Fearing that
the Roman army legion in Spain is far more superior then the Slave army. He is confident
that the Roman empire will not have a chance to touch his army. They attempt to escape
from the Army. Unfortunately, Spartacus did not make it. He was soon overrun by the
Roman army. The Roman army trapped the rebels and killed them off. The survivors lives
were origionally spared, but Spartacus was going to die. Then all of the men shouted “I am
Spartacus” thus the Roman s never knew about the real Spartacus.
I think That Spartacus made a bad decision for the sake of himself and his Slave
Army team. If I were him I would not have lead the Slave army back. I would have urged
them to continue. Like I said earlier this decision affected the entire fate of the Slave army.
