Spartacus: the rebel leader who fought against the Romans with an army of fellow escaped slaves, is one of the most famous figures in ancient Roman history. Spartacus led his men against their Roman oppressors and managed to defeat the Roman army in several battles. Eventually Spartacus and his army were defeated and put to death. To this day，Spartacus fascinates both historians and the general public. Several aspects about his story have made him a particularly appealing hero.
Firs，Spartacus‘ original goal in his conflict against Rome is one everyone can empathize with-he wanted to return home Spartacus and his men had been taken by the Romans from faraway lands In fighting the Romans, Spartacus and his men initially sought to return to the homelands from which they had been uprooted Spartacus and his men's desire to return home is one we can all appreciate.
Second, Spartacus' initial success in fighting against the powerful Roman army has earned him the admiration people feel when someone who is overmatched triumphs through sheer skill. Spartacus and his men formed a relatively small, ill-equipped army; the Roman army? in contrast, was large, well-financed, and highly trained. Spartacus' ability to seriously trouble the Romans on the battlefield testifies to his military brilliance, making him a hero in most people's eyes.
Third, in fighting against Rome: Spartacus sought to liberate all Roman slaves and thus commanded respect as an early human rights advocate. Before his final battle with the Romans, Spartacus was sent an offer by a Roman general: if Spartacus would stop fighting, he would be made a Roman senator, a member of Rome's powerful elite: and his men would be freed. However, Spartacus rejected this offer because it would have left the institution of slavery in place.
Without any shadow of doubt, Spartacus is the most famous slave in the Roman era. Indeed he has many achievements against the Romans at that time. In the passage, the author concentrates on several arguments to prove that Spartacus was an appealing hero base on his story. However, the lecturer cast doubt on these arguments and respectively points out the problems with all author's assertions, especially the historical aspect of the claims that the author made.
To commence, according to the passage the main goal of Spartacus and his men was to return to their homelands. The lecturer, however, highlighted the fact that they had many chances to go back to their home based on the lands they controlled, but, they preferred to stay for other goals. She states that they had other goals like revenge and private benefits.
Moreover, the author mentions that Spartacus had many successes in the initial battles against equipped Roman army. The author believes that he was an astute person. Conversely, with reference to the account of the lecturer, we can not say that he was genuine based on a few battels. In addition, Romans sent a small army to fight again Spartacus at first, and when they sent a good army, Romans won the battle.
The last point discussed in the passage has to do with the historical point that Spartacus aimed to liberate all Roman slaves, it also, refers to an offer by a Roman general for their liberation that was rejected by Spartacus. On the contrary, the lecturer brings up the fact that this issue is not based on a historical fact and people made it during the anti-slave movement in the 8 century. In fact, they needed to have a hero for their movement and they selected Spartacus.
