essay
Spartacus, written in 1951 by Howard Fast, is the story of a gladiator, named Spartacus.
Spartacus is a slave who is bought by a lanista, a person who owns, sells, and fights
gladiators, whose name is Batiatus. Batiatus trains Spartacus to be a gladiator at a
gladitorial school in Capua. Because Spartacus is brave, loves life and has leadership he
breaks out of the school and leads a four-year long slave revolt against Rome. Spartacus is
brave. This trait is important as he is leading a revolt against what is then the most

soldiers of Capua coming to fight the gladiators he does not run but instead tells his men
that ""We will fight like soldiers.""(160) Spartacus shows his courage when he tells his
soldiers they are to ""go to war against Rome."" Spartacus's bravery is shown by the fact

nation with equality of all men and all women. Spartacus shows his bravery when he sends

good in mankind belongs to us. What a foul crew you are and what a filthy mess you have
made out of life"" (214-215). Even though he knows that his open defiance can and will cost
him his life.
