Spartacus was thracian? Thracian is not a nationality. Spartacus was greek. Maedi people (or Sandanski city now, or Strymon River) was a zone into the macedonian kingdom, 100km to Pella (Alexander the Great). His name needs traduction from greek. To affirm that Spartacus was thracian is like to say "Herodotus was persian. Or turkish". Archimedes was an italian. Eratoshenes of Libia." All greeks, of course. I propose to correct this point. Greetings.

The region belonged for almost 200 years to the Greece from the 350 a.C until the year 169 a.C (Roman occupation). You have to place yourself in the historical context. Its rulers were Greek Macedonians, Philip II, Alexander the Great, Antipater, Lysimachus (and their Macedonian successors). I refer to Macedonia as kingdom of Greece. "Spartacus" (Greek: Σπάρτακος Spártakos, translation from Greek I insist that Espartaco was Thracian is like saying "Thales of Miletus was Turkish." I leave 2 maps of the area, and I intend to correct this point.-- DIEGO73 ( talk) 18:37, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

My dad told me that he was Thracian because Thracia is just modern day Bulgaria. He also told me that he was born somewhere near Dimitrovgrad which is a town in Bulgaria and it's where I'm from Iron Attack rules ( talk) 14:53, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
Spartacus is not greek if you should know Iron Attack rules ( talk) 15:41, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
You do know that saying that Thracia is not a nationality is kind of rude to people who are Thracian like me Iron Attack rules ( talk) 16:05, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
I request the album Spartacus be added to this section. Spartacus is the third album by the German group Triumvirat. It is a concept album based on Spartacus, the Thracian gladiator who led the 3rd slave uprising in 73–71 BC. The lyrics were written by Hans Bathelt, with contributions by Jürgen Fritz. It was originally released in 1975 on the EMI label, and later distributed in the U.S. by Capitol.

Throughout the 5th and final series of BBC's Outnumbered, the character Ben is preparing to perform a theatrical performance pf Spartacus with his school, with Ben in the titular role of Spartacus. The final episode of the series and of the show, episode 6 of the series, sees Ben perform Spartacus in the final few minutes of the episode. In general, would add a small section containing links to the related material with a brief overview of how the subjects are related. Thank You! Trevor Richard ( talk) 17:11, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

Under Objectives can be noted that Albert Camus (in The Rebel) contends that Spartacus' motive was to reject slavery and affirm equality with his masters, and that he ultimately desired to be master himself.
"Spartacus' rebellion, which took place as the ancient world was coming to an end, a few decades before the Christian era, is an excellent illustration of this point. First we note that this is a rebellion of gladiators—that is to say, of slaves consecrated to single combat and condemned, for the delectation of their masters, to kill or be killed. Beginning with seventy men, this rebellion ended with an army of seventy thousand insurgents, which crushed the best Roman legions and advanced through Italy to march on the Eternal City itself. However, as Andre Prudhommeaux remarks (in The Tragedy of Spartacus), this rebellion introduced no new principle into Roman life. The proclamation issued by Spartacus goes no farther than to offer "equal rights" to the slaves. The transition from fact to right, which we analyzed in the first stage of rebellion, is, indeed, the only logical acquisition that one can find on this level of rebellion. The insurgent rejects slavery and affirms his equality with his master. He wants to be master in his turn."

Re the sentence on Florus "Florus described him as one "who, from a Thracian mercenary, had become a Roman soldier, that had deserted and became enslaved, and afterward, from consideration of his strength, a gladiator"
Florus does not employ the term Romanus.
The Latin text reads: Nec abnuit ille de stipendiario Thrace miles, de milite desertor, inde latro, deinde in honorem virium gladiator. [see Florus Epitome Book II viii] In Loeb Classical Library 1960. Acco1960 ( talk) 12:23, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

I have yet to be a confirmed user, so I can't correct the error myself, but I noticed something under the Video Games section of the page I believe to be a grammatical error. Currently it reads "If the player names the character in Career Mode, Spartacus, the player will receive Spartacus's sword." I believe it should read "If the player names the character in Career Mode Spartacus, the player will receive Spartacus's sword." I may be incorrect about the necessity of the change, but I would request some sort of alteration, as the sentence is somewhat confusing to parse on first read as-is.
