00:00Spartacus. The true story. 73 BC Rome, an empire of marble and iron built on conquest and fear.

00:11Kings had bowed, nations had fallen, and millions toiled in chains. From the blood-soaked sands of

00:18the gladiatorial arena, one man rose to defy it all. His revolt shook the republic to its very

00:25core. His name was Spartacus. Spartacus was not born a slave. He was a Thracian warrior,

00:32a mountain fighter from the Balkans. Fierce, proud, and unyielding. Captured after desertion,

00:39he was dragged in chains to a Roman slave market and sold to Lentilus Bataillatus,

00:45owner of Capua's most notorious gladiator school. Here men were beaten, drilled, and forged into

00:52killers for Rome's amusement. Move! Most never left the arena, dying nameless beneath the roar of Rome.

01:00But Spartacus was different. He endured the training, mastered every weapon, and in the shadows he

01:06began to whisper of something greater. Freedom. Soon others began to listen. He fanned whispers into

01:15resolve until hardened men dared to hope. The plan was desperate. Raid the kitchens,

01:21seize knives, and strike before the guards could react. When word of the plot leaked, Spartacus moved

01:28first. With 70 men, he butchered his way out of the school and vanished into the night. By dawn, they had

01:36raided a caravan, armed themselves with true weapons, and taken their first step toward freedom. At first, Rome

01:45laughed. How dangerous could runaway slaves be? But Spartacus was no fugitive. He was a commander.

01:52They fear us. They fear that the whispers of freedom will become a roar they cannot silence.

01:58He turned Mount Vesuvius into a fortress, using ropes of vines to ambush Roman troops.

02:05Again and again, he crushed legions after legions, sent against him. What began with 70 men grew into an

02:14army of nearly 100,000. Slaves, farmers, even women and children, all marching under his banner.

02:22For two years, the Republic bled. A Thracian slave was teaching the world's most powerful empire how to fear.

02:31Rome turned to Marcus Licinius Crassus, the richest man in the Republic. Cold and ruthless, he rebuilt

02:39discipline with terror, reviving the ancient punishment of decimation, killing one in ten of his own soldiers.

02:47Spartacus searched for escape. Should have left Italy when we had the chance.

02:51And go where? Back to Gaul, to be slaves again. Better than dying here.

02:57He struck a deal with Cilician pirates, offering gold for ships to carry his people to freedom.

03:04But the pirates betrayed him. They took the gold and abandoned him.

03:08Trapped in southern Italy, surrounded by Roman legions, Spartacus faced betrayal, desperation,

03:17and the certainty of death. In 71 BC, with no escape left, Spartacus gathered his army for one last stand.

03:25Before the battle, he killed his horse, declaring,

03:29If we win, I shall have all the horses I need. If we lose, I won't need one.

03:37What followed was nothing short of apocalyptic. Farmers, shepherds, and slaves hurled themselves

03:43against the disciplined ranks of Rome's legions, fighting with the fury of men who had nothing

03:48left to lose. The battlefield became a sea of steel and blood, an army of the oppressed,

03:55striking terror, even if only for a moment, into the heart of the Republic. When the struggle ended,

04:03Rome claimed its victory. Six thousand rebels were crucified along the Appian Way, their bodies

04:10stretched out as a warning to all who might defy Roman power. And yet, Spartacus's body was never

04:18found. For all its marble and iron, Rome could not silence his name, Spartacus, the slave who rose

04:26against an empire. The man who proved that even Rome could tremble.
