She sat to talk with and voiced his thoughts, she was horrified that he would let all the slaves die in order to have vengeance on Batiatus after he learned the latter ordered his wife's death. It was not until he began to formulate his plan for vengeance where the two developed a relationship. The night before the plan, Mira promised to aid him under the condition that he would make love to her instead of just sex as she wanted to know the love he felt for his wife.
Spartacus agreed to this condition and the two made love. After the breakout the two entered into a relationship, Mira remains loyal to Spartacus and a truthful advisor along with Agron.
She remains loyal and is bonded by love, with even Spartacus holding her still close to his heart. With this affection she dedicates herself to him and the cause until she is struck down by Salvius before the battle of Vesuvius.
Spartacus is truly devastated by her death and violently attacks Nemetes for his reckless actions that indirectly led to Mira's murder. He wraps Mira's body in his cloak and fasten it with vines, it was the death of his lover that inspired to make ropes made of vine to scale the mountain to blindside Glaber's army.
During the battle against Glaber and his forces, Spartacus would violently attack Salvius for killing Mira by brutally slamming his face into a pillar until he dies; with this act Spartacus avenged Mira's death.
During the Funeral Games for Crixus, Spartacus shouted out Mira's name to honor those who had been taken from him. Spartacus first met Laeta while looking for grain in Sinuessa. When the rebels attack the city, Laeta questions as to why he sided with Spartacus, but she became horrified that he was Spartacus himself. Spartacus killed her husband in front of her before imprisoning her though he gave her more freedom among the hostages.
In Decimation , when Crixus led the rebels in a slaughter of the prisoners, he was about to execute Laeta, but Spartacus intervened. He soon learned that she hid the prisoners and questioned her over her actions after he gave her mercy. When she rebuked his words by listing the things the rebels have done, he was somewhat taken back and though urged to kill her by Crixus, but he refuses and has her and the remaining hostages placed in his villa for protection.
Spartacus soon released her and the prisoners as a plan to trick Crassus, this allowed the romans to leave the city. When Crassus took the city, he condemned Laeta as a slave to Heracleo , but she escaped with Gannicus and Sybil; albeit wounded. Spartacus was reunited with Laeta and tended to her wounds. Laeta is seen to the medicus tent by Spartacus. In Mors Indecepta , Laeta meets briefly with Spartacus in the medicus tent describing, in essence, her loss of faith caused by the brand Heracleo burned into her forearm.
Spartacus tries to counsel her loss by saying there is no single, simple answer and that each person must find their own way past it. Spartacus and Laeta meet again at the height of the storm where she shares her blanket with him, telling him that she wants him to live.
In Separate Paths , Laeta is told by Agron that Spartacus holds affections for her which surprises her and leaves her speechless. When the rebels have a celebration, Spartacus and Laeta have a private talk where they bicker in a joking manner and Spartacus sees her wounds have healed as she's back to her old-self. He tells her to rejoin the party, so they could be ready for the long journey and tries to leave but she pulls him back, wanting his company before he kisses her a sentiment which she returns with it being intense.
After the kiss, Spartacus then told Laeta that because she was roman, he couldn't give her his heart. Undeterred, she replies by coming onto him and stating it wasn't his heart she was after but "something else". The two then proceeded to make passionate love on the floor, officially becoming lovers after this encounter.
Before the final battle, Spartacus thanked Laeta for her affections and they shared one final kiss. Varro was Spartacus' first friend when he arrived at the ludus.
As both Spartacus and Varro were free men before coming to the ludus, they got along very well with Varro becoming his best friend in the first season. The two had a match at the party of Numerius, with both smiling after Spartacus won but this was short-lived after Numerius ordered Varro's death, Spartacus refused to comply but Varro drove the blade in his shoulder and Spartacus not wanting to see his friend in pain reluctantly finished ended his life.
During the Funeral Games for Crixus, Spartacus shouted out Varro's name as one of those who had been taken from him. Spartacus and Crixus became instant rivals the moment they met.
Crixus held contempt for Spartacus and his distaste of gladiators. Their rivalry was soon inflamed when Spartacus managed to overcome him in the final test.
Throughout the course of their gladiatorial career with one another, they were almost always at odds. During their fight with Theokoles , Spartacus was able to see past their rivalry to survive but Crixus' arrogance stood between them. Despite this, however, the bonds of the gladiator brotherhood brought them from rivalry upon occasion, such as Crixus saving Spartacus from Segovax and his acknowledgement that Spartacus was right about something more than glory.
When they were to fight each other to the death, they agreed that whomever survive would carry out the others last wish, but Spartacus eventually managed to convince Crixus that he was meant to lose because Batiatus and Ashur had poisoned him. Crixus then joined with Spartacus and led the massacre at the ludus, with the gladiators and slaves embarking into freedom. During the initial stages of escape, Crixus and Spartacus still hold some conflict as Crixus focuses solely on finding Naevia , who was banished from the ludus.
Spartacus, however, shows true compassion for Crixus and vows to help him find her, thus forming a growing bond of friendship. As time goes on, they embrace one another as friends and comrades as they fight off against the forces of Gaius Claudius Glaber. Following the Praetor's defeat, the two embrace one another and claim to build an army that would make Rome fall.
Their relationship takes many turns during this time, however, as Spartacus attempts to maintain a code of morals and is a much more strategic leader as opposed to Crixus, who still holds a burning vengeance and is much more impulsive. Eventually, Spartacus relieves him of his command after Crixus spurs the Rebels into mercilessly slaughtering Roman innocents.
However, following the siege of Sinuessa by Marcus Licinius Crassus , he reassumes a true leader role, but is constantly tired by Spartacus' constant plots and lack of direct confrontation. They end up into a heated fight after one argument that has to be broken up. As they continue, their ideals continue to crash and effect the whole rebellion to the point where Spartacus sadly believes that Crixus hates him again.
Crixus, however, tells him that he does not but is merely tired of the running. They then agree to separate their armies, Spartacus to take to the Alps with Crixus continuing the march to Rome. In their final meeting, they call each other brothers and grasp arms for the last time, before setting off on their own on peaceful terms. When Spartacus hears of Crixus' death, he becomes enraged and captures Tiberius , the one who killed Crixus, and a clutch of his men and creates a makeshift arena to have a set of funeral games to honor Crixus.
He and the other Rebels then hold a funeral pyre for him and shout his name to the heavens. Agron is one of Spartacus' only friends in the ludus and his second best friend in the series, other than Varro and Duro.
He was brought into Batiatus' ludus months before the rebellion began. At first, Agron thought nothing of Spartacus, calling him small, and boasting he could beat him given the chance. But he and Spartacus quickly became best friends, often pairing off together during training. Agron and his brother Duro quickly allied themselves to Spartacus in their plans to escape. Though Agron lost his brother, he became Spartacus' most loyal friend and advisor even if he possessed a hot-headed attitude in the early stages of the rebellion.
When it was revealed that Agron had lied about Naevia's fate to Crixus, Spartacus justly disciplined Agron, reminding him that her life was just as important as theirs. This created a rift as Agron still chose his life over a somewhat foolish attempt to free Naevia from the mines. With Naevia's rescue completed, Agron agreed to go with Spartacus to the Arena of Capua, to rescue Crixus and the other captured rebels. While too late to save Acer and Rhaskos, the two still kept the Romans at bay while Mira, Donar and the other rebels succeeded in burning the arena down.
With Crixus dead, Spartacus noted that he was still the only gladiator left from Batiatus' ludus whom he held to heart. Agron and Nasir would prevent Crassus from delivering a killing blow to Spartacus after he was mortally wounded by Roman spears, and carried him from the battlefield. Agron stayed with a dying Spartacus, and was heartbroken at Spartacus' death.
After burying him, he looked upon Spartacus' grave one last time with a saddened look, before heading to the Alps to true freedom. Duro was one of Spartacus' only friends in the ludus and his good friend in the series, other than Varro , Pietros and Agron. Originally, Duro didn't think highly of Spartacus even stating that he and his brother could easily beat the man if given the chance.
As time went on, he grew to respect him and along with his brother joined him in rebelling against the romans even though doing so led to his death. Pietros was another of the first people in the ludus to show Spartacus kindness other than Varro. When Pietros was taken by Gnaeus after the "departure" of Barca, Spartacus was openly contemptuous of both Gnaus and Barca over the boy's mistreatment.
When Pietros later committed suicide, Spartacus, having deduced Gnaeus's abuse to be the cause, brutally attacked Gnaeus before killing him in a blind rage. When Spartacus arrived at the ludus his relationship with Oenomaus was turbulent. Spartacus was very contrary, he was defiant and often angered Oenomaus.
It wasn't until Theokoles was defeated that these two would find a slither of friendship. They also bonded over being in love for a lost person, but when he discovered Spartacus had drugged him in order to escape the ludus, the turbulence returned. Despite this, before the rebellion took place Spartacus called Oenomaus an honorable man and ordered Agron and Duro not to kill him when they expressed irritation towards the latter.
After the breakout, Oenomaus wanted nothing to do with Spartacus nor the rebellion yet he would not work against them either as he informed them of Glaber and his army but coldly turned down Spartacus' offer to help.
He only embraced the cause after learning the truth about Gannicus and his wife , being tortured by Ashur and the Romans and being rescued by Spartacus. He was appointed the task of training the rebels and quickly became recognized as a leader and during this time became something of a mentor to Spartacus.
Before the final battle at Vesuvius, Oenomaus stood up for Spartacus' cause deeming it as a just one. When Ashur attempted to make a deal with the rebels, Oenomaus was the first to question of what would happen to Spartacus if they accepted and was against selling the latter out. The last time they interact was when Oenomaus helped lower Spartacus and the other rebel leaders down the mountain before he led the rebels down the mountainside to flank Glaber and his forces and died in this battle.
Gannicus first met Spartacus during the games of Publius Varinius. While under the guise of a Roman soldier, Spartacus noticed Gannicus' mark, that of the House of Batiatus. With his morals in killing his brothers questioned, Gannicus responded by saying he was the only one who deserved to give them an honorable death. After the fall of the arena, Gannicus accompanied the Rebels to the temple for the sole purpose of reconciling with Oenomaus.
Gannicus originally thought little of Spartacus, even thinking his cause would lead his group to certain death. The two came to blows when some of the rebels' possessions vanished, and Gannicus was accused, though the fight was broken up by Mira, and Spartacus apologized for accusing Gsnnicus after his innocence was proven. Gannicus later commited to the rebellion after kidnapping Ilithyia and over time he developed further respect for Spartacus. Before the battle with Glaber, Gannicus admitted his respect to Spartacus before acknowledging him as a brother and the two shook hands as a way of symbolizing the friendship between them.
After the battle with Glaber, the two became close friends, though Spartacus remained put off by Gannicus' carefree attitude. Spartacus recognized Gannicus' capabilities and wanted him to be a leader in the army along with him and Crixus; however, the latter declined, not wanting the responsibilities.
Gannicus would also question the length of Spartacus' revenge since all his enemies were dead , along with their own wives. Gannicus even related his own past and the emptiness he felt after getting his revenge.
During the taking of Sinuessa En Valle , and the subsequent rift that grew between Spartacus and Crixus, however, Gannicus would be quick to step to the defense of the cause, When Marcus Licinius Crassus and his armies arrived to face the rebels, Gannicus finally accepted the role Spartacus urged him to assume. Though they had only briefly witnessed each other before Varro 's death, he and Spartacus often spoke of Aurelia and Varro's service as a gladiator being a means of supporting Aurelia and their son Janus.
After Varro's death, Aurelia arrived at Batiatus' ludus to retrieve Varro's body for his funeral, believing Spartacus had struck Varro down in cold blood. Aurelia would then refuse Spartacus' earnings in the arena to support her and Janus, instead agreeing to serve Batiatus at his ludus to pay her families debt to him.
Though Spartacus cautioned Aurelia about her choice and of Batiatus' treachery, Aurelia had become too blinded by grief. Following their escape from Batiatus' ludus, Aurelia found peace of mind from Varro's death, wishing to reunite with Janus. Spartacus made sure to send her with Peirastes and a clutch of other men and return her to Janus. Unfortunately all but Aurelia were killed by Glaber's troops, and Aurelia herself was tortured and near death, presented to the citizens of Capua before Spartacus rescued her.
Unfortunately, Aurelia seccumbed to her wounds, but not before making Spartacus promise that he would leave Janus to live out his life with his uncle. Spartacus first met Nasir following the attack on his dominus ' villa. Nasir introduced himself as Tiberius; the name his dominus had given him. That same night, Nasir attempted to kill Spartacus while he and Mira were preparing to sleep together in his former dominus' bed chamber.
Spartacus, alongside Crixus and Agron, decided not to kill Nasir, but to teach him, and sparred with him the next day. Nasir began to gain respect for Spartacus, even taking him and the others to the mines of Lucania in order to free Naevia.
Following their escape from the mines, the remainder of the group spent the next day trying to escape from Marcus , Ashur and a clutch of Glaber 's other men. Nasir helped fight them, eventually being badly wounded by one of the soldiers.
Spartacus helped cauterize the wound and carry him to safety. When he first met Lucius, the latter was hostile at him for trespassing while Spartacus merely stated the rebels needed shelter.
Agron was vocal at Spartacus' decision as Lucius learned of his identity as the rebel leader and graciously welcome them. Lucius then explained his past at losing his land and family, before he voiced that he supported Spartacus as he made the very people who turned their back on him suffer.
Lucius was notable for being the second roman to befriend Spartacus, after Varro. Lucius played a key role in his of training the rebels, as his skills with the bow and arrow were passed down in the army and allowed the rebels to have another useful asset in their army. Naevia and Spartacus never spoke during their time in Batiatus' ludus, with Naevia being Lucretia 's body slave and Spartacus being trained as a Gladiator.
Spartacus witnessed Naevia being taken away from Batiatus' ludus to be sold to another Roman, as a way to bargain for Batiatus' ascension as an Aedile. After escaping Batiatus' ludus, Spartacus kept his promise to Crixus and helped find Naevia, even choosing Crixus' side over Agron 's to find her. Spartacus and the others found Naevia in the Mines of Lucania, and helped her escape, resulting in Crixus and two others being captured and taken back to Capua.
While somewhat seeing Naevia as a liability given her week state from the mines and Roman soldiers led by Marcus tracking them down, Spartacus refused to leave Naevia, even at the cost of the other gladiators. They later got on better terms and became comrades with Naevia becoming one of his loyal followers as shown when she cheered him on after he defeated Glaber.
Sanus' relationship with Spartacus is unknown, but he seemed surprised when Heracleo told him that Sanus had been killed. Spartacus personally attacked the pirate, after it is revealed they killed Sanus to side with Crassus instead.
Spartacus never had a full one on one conversation with Castus, and distrusted him from the start due him being a Cilician pirate, but seemed content once the pirates had proven themselves allies following the Battle outside Sinuessa. Spartacus decided to have Castus taken with the rebels instead of killing him once the pirates' betrayal was discovered, leading to Crassus retaking Sinuessa en Valle even though Castus knew nothing of it.
Castus gained back Spartacus' trust by helping the rebels in the Battle of Milea Ridge. The last time Castus spoke to Spartacus was when he informed him that Crassus' army was close by, signaling the rebels to prepare for the final battle. Castus was killed during the battle. After Spartacus killed four of Solonius ' gladiators in the Arena, Batiatus purchased Spartacus in an effort to hold favor with Claudius Glaber, a fate Spartacus was fiercely resentful over.
The Thracian resisted virtually every order given him by Batiatus and was on the verge of being sent to the mind, when the latter came to him with an offer: submit to training and fight under the rules of the House in exchange for the rescue of Sura. While very distrustful of Batiatus, Spartacus reluctantly agreed and set his mind to the training. When Spartacus and Crixus defeated Theokoles in a primus match and won the means to purchase Sura's freedom, Batiatus was true to his own word, locating and securing her transport.
Unbeknownst to Spartacus, however, he also ordered Sura to be murdered en route, disguising the deed as a bandit attack. A grieved Spartacus remained unwise to the double-cross, still thinking Batiatus an honorable man. When Spartacus was forced to kill his friend Varro in what was supposed to be an exhibition duel, a series of mishaps placed him in the infirmary with the man responsible for Sura's death, and the truth came out.
Outraged by the betrayal, Spartacus immediately began planning the murder of Batiatus, Lucretia, and the rest of the House, a plan he executed virtually flawlessly. Even after his murder of Batiatus, Spartacus continued to point to him as the one reason he fought: to see that no Roman would ever mistreat a free person again.
The very man who enslaved him and his wife into slavery, Glaber was one of Spartacus' most hated foes. Even when in the Auxilliary, Spartacus was openly aware and contemptuous of the man's faults. When Glaber betrayed his word and ordered the Thracians to abandon their defensive position against the Getae, Spartacus stirred up a mass desertion without hesitation, though he never struck Glaber directly.
After Glaber seized Spartacus and Sura, however, and reappeared to taunt him, however, he became the one foe Spartacus could not control himself over, easily goading the Thracian to come attacking him without reason or restraint again and again. Only Spartacus's concern for his fellow rebels was enough to contain his bloodlust for Glaber, as evidenced in the showing at the ludus during Batiatus's bid for patronage, and the rush to move the rebel encampment out of Capua's sewers.
Eventually, Spartacus was able to use his own tactical skills to outmaneuver Glaber, and when he speared his sword down the latter's throat, he summoned all the images of the wrongs done to him and his wife to strike down his most hated enemy. Spartacus first heard of Crassus when he and Batiatus discussed Licinia's interest in laying with him.
What is known of Spartacus for sure was a that he was a Gladiator, who along with the Gaul Crixus, as well as three others, Oenomaus, Castus, and Gannicus whose true nationality is unknown , was one of the slave leaders in a slave rebellion known as the Third Servile War, an uprising against the Roman Republic between 73 and 71 BC.
Historical accounts vary and often contradict each other, but most agree that he was an accomplished military leader, and perhaps served in the Roman army, which gave him an understanding on how Roman troops moved and fought.
Although he may not have started the rebellion he was one of the three gladiators chosen by the rebels to lead. Whether Spartacus was in fact a Thracian is up for debate. His date of birth is also up for debate, but his date of birth is said to be in or around BC. How this was confirmed in sources is unknown, as Romans wouldn't introduce birth records until around 27 BC, under the rule of Augustus. The only surviving contemporary artwork showing Spartacus. It likely depicts a mounted gladiator match.
It was discovered on the wall of what was likely a tavern in the ruins of Pompeii. The rider on the white horse is named Spartaks read right to left. His opponent is named "Felix the Pompeian". Plutarch, Appian and Florus all claim that Spartacus died during the final battle near the Silarus River the modern day Sele River , and most historians agree with this notion, although Appian reports that his body was never found.
Some sources say that his body was so mutilated during the battle that it was urecognisable; so his body was never found. Historically there was little indication that Spartacus intended to revolutionize Roman culture or abolish slavery, which was a common practice aross nearly every culture in the world at the time.
It is also not known if he ever intended to truly attack the city of Rome itself; some Roman historians stated that he did but this may just have been a reflection of their fears. Spartacus' name also known as Sportokos in Thracian and Greek was the name used by Thracian kings, so Spartacus himself may have been of royal descent the name "Spartacus" being a latinized version of the name.
A modern day theory is that if Spartacus was an expert fighter in the Thraex style, the Romans in particular his Dominus Batiatus , may have honoured that by naming him Spartacus.
Because of his knowledge in Roman tactics and general leadership, it's possible he was a Roman commander himself, not only a part of the auxiliary.
A few sources say that Spartacus was a supporter of Mithridates and may have even been a soldier of Cornelius Sulla during the Social War. He may have led his army not as a slave rebellion, but as civil support to Mithridates from within Italy. Plutarch describes Spartacus as a "Thracian of nomadic stock".
Its not quite certain what Plutarch meant by that. The Thracians were generally sedentary as a culture. It could be the the Maedi had elements within their own tribe that were of Scythian origin. Alternately, it could mean that they had long since intermarried with the Celts whom migrated from central Europe and settled in Thrace two hundred years earlier. Or a third possibility could be that the Maedi were originally from elsewhere, and were allowed to settle the region by the more powerful Odrysians, and stood in a buffer region between them and their Macedonian neighbours.

The show featured a very large supporting cast, many of whom audiences grew attached to. Manu Bennet as Crixus played an especially big role, much like the real Crixus did.
Even though their actual roles differ between the show and the actual events, it is still nice to know that the role these people played in history is still being acknowledged. In the show, his wife is separated from him and eventually returned on the brink of death.
In actuality, his wife actually spent time with him at the house and even escaped with him and the other slaves. Regardless of his true death, the story of Spartacus ends after the Third Servile War. Here, Marcus Crassus made his final stance against Spartacus, and with vastly superior numbers.
The show plays out a lot of similar battle strategies used by the Romans and depicts the results rather accurately.
Likewise, most major battles that take place in the show actually took place in real life. The move against Spartacus on Mount Vesuvius unfolded in a very similar manner to real life. The shows attention to detail really helped build the narrative a believable fashion, making the show all the more appealing. Doing so serves as a great callback to the original film while also showing how Spartacus evolved as an ideal.
However, both versions of the famous quote are entirely fictitious. There is no evidence of any quote or of any great defense of his people by Spartacus in any manner.
