When gladiators come to mind, one name stands alone: Spartacus. This native of Thrace in Greece led a two-year uprising of gladiators, slaves and poor peasants that engulfed all of southern Italy and led to the defeat of five Roman armies. The so-called "Gladiator Wars" (73 BC - 71 BC) started at the gladiator school in Capua, south of Rome, where Spartacus, thought to be an army deserter, was in training. Armed with kitchen knives, Spartacus and 70 students managed to break out of the school and head for Mt. Vesuvius, where they slipped past soldiers sent in pursuit. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/warriorchallenge/gladiators/time.html Jan 22 08, 9:11 PM
