personality in history - a topic many philosophical debates and reflections.Do we create a story or she supervises the actions of people?There are people who tightens the vortex of events, and they flow in a stream, obeying him.Others, on the contrary, do not agree with reality and take destiny into their own hands.Avatar the last option - the story of Spartacus, a gladiator, who became head of the 70,000-foot troops.
history gladiator Spartacus began in the vast expanses of Thrace, in the north-east of the Balkan Peninsula.Rome, getting bogged down in wars of conquest, attracted an army of mercenaries from the barbarians.One of them was Spartacus, who came from a noble family of the Thracian warriors.For unknown reasons, for us he deserted from the army, but was caught and placed into slavery.As Spartacus was a courageous, strong warrior, it was sold in the gladiatorial school, what in Rome was a lot.Motley crowd reveled in the contemplation of people beating death.
Gladiators, by and large, were condemned to death.Leaving the arena, each of them knew that he would die or kill his friend.School fighters looked like a prison, which provides for stiffer penalties for anyone opposing his destiny.Save the will it was very difficult.Yet Roman history has a lot of facts riots in such schools.The most powerful movement was a revolt of gladiators led by Spartacus.The school
slaves fighters in Capua 74 BC.e.there was an escape of 70 people, who first perceived as another riot.Bejan had to seize and punish, to discourage others were.Who knew then that the story of Spartacus, Gladiator will be the most powerful movement against slavery throughout the Roman Empire, and for several years, will keep in fear and stress of Roman citizens!
who fled sought refuge on the top of Mount Vesuvius, an extinct volcano, making forays from there.Militias from Capua was defeated, then, the same fate befell three thousand troops from Rome.The rebels used the stratagem, and descended from the mountain on the stairs, woven from vines of wild grapes, attacked the camp of the enemy from the rear.This brought the rebels weapons and glory.It began to join Spartak slaves from neighboring estates dispossessed peasants, his camp every day increased.Recruits armed and trained military art.Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the Senate sent against the troops of slaves under the leadership of the two armies at once both consuls, which showed the highest risk of going on to Rome.
Spartak showed himself for all time as an excellent organizer, military leader, strategist.In addition, he knew that to change the situation in Italy it will not be possible, it is necessary to go beyond the peninsula, towards freedom.But not all of his colleagues share this view.When the army of the rebels went to the limits of the Alps, through which it was possible to get out of Italy, there was a split.30000-ing army separated, decided to return to Italy, came into the fight with the government army and suffered a complete defeat.In such a situation Spartak instead make the transition through the Alps, he comes back and breaks the army of the Senate.New victory, the triumph of the new, new members join the army of Spartacus, but the position of the rebels with each passing day becomes more and more uncertain.From the province due to the active army, the Senate is preparing for a serious confrontation.In these circumstances, the great gladiator heads south in the hope to cross to Sicily.But his plans were not realized.Cornered, Spartak give final battle government troops.In this battle, he was wounded in the thigh, but he continued to fight on his knees.In an unequal battle, he fell like a hero.
history of Spartak - gladiator, a slave, do not accept their fate - said the strength of the human spirit that can not be broken.Over the centuries it has inspired people to fight for their freedom.It could result in the history of Spartacus, Gladiator successfully?If we talk about it as a desire to obtain the freedom of individuals outside the Roman Empire, it was quite feasible.Do not turn your back at Spartak Alps, part of his troops managed to reach the long-awaited freedom.In the fight against slavery as a company with an established device could not be successful, as not yet ripe conditions for the collapse of the slave system.After all, history has its own laws.
