Spartacus is a slave who led the biggest slave rebellion in Roman history.
He comes from the Thrace area which is now part of Bulgaria.
Spartacus was once a Roman soldier before being sold as a slave.
In his rebellion, Spartacus managed to collect around 100,000 troops and defeated several Roman troops.
Spartacus rebellion lasted for two years, from 73 BC to 71 BC.
Spartacus and his troops almost managed to attack the city of Rome itself.
After his troops were defeated, Spartacus was beheaded and his head and body were displayed along the road as a warning for those who wanted to rebel.
The story of Spartacus is an inspiration for many literary works and arts, including novels, films and television series.
One of the famous films that tells the life of Spartacus is Spartacus (1960), starring Kirk Douglas.
In 2014, UNESCO set a Spartacus slave rebellion site in Italy as a world heritage site.
