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.
The lecture and the article discuss the reasons for considering Spartacus a hero. The article suggests that there are three main reasonable facts to make Spartacus a symbol. The lecturer, on the other hand, responds that the reasons mentioned in the article are not historically accurate.
To begin with, the article states that Spartacus fought against Romans because he wanted to return his home. The article explains that this fact makes Spartacus, and his men look like heroes. This argument is challenged by the lecturer. She mentions that returning home was not the only goal for fighting Romans. The lecturer illustrates that Spartacus, and his men wanted the revenge and the gold, which are less honorable causes.
Secondly, the article points out that Spartacus was a military genius. The article illustrates that Spartacus and his men defeated Romans unit with small and ill-equipped army. The lecturer, however, says that Spartacus could not be consider as a military brilliant, since he only defeated weak Roman unit at the beginning. The lecturer goes on to say that Spartacus could not gain victory against the strong Roman unit.
Finally, the article puts forth the idea that Spartacus fought against Romans for a noble cause. The article notes that he wanted to liberate all Roman slaves and he was advocate of human rights. In contrast, the lecturer claims that this reason is not correct. She points out that at nineteenth century, people in antislavery movement used Spartacus as a symbol and inspiration for their cause.
