One of the most boring historical docu’s made >Manages to take one of the most dynamic characters in ancient history and with aid of computer graphics, narrators and so called historical experts turn what should have an inspiring saga into a rather irritating hour of historical inaccuracies.

id like to know where they pluck numbers like 100,000 and 70,000 from.
It sems to me that the romans (and i guess most ‘victor’ historical writers) always vastly over state numbers in these battles, its like hannible suposedly killed 70,000 at cannea, and how many were in battle with bodica -i could go on & on.
I cant see these histroic records as being newhere near correct!!

I loved the documentary on Spartacus but you make the same mistake of naming the volcano Vesuvius at that time it was named Suma and was bigger then the Romans didn’t know it was a volcano other than that a very fine and informative program thanks.

My kind of Man, True or Not! Did they just compare him to DR. King? MLK was as passive as you can be.

Okay. Watchable but nothing special. Highly speculative. Would’ve liked to know what sources the commentators were using as a basis for their statements. Also I do not agree with the last speaker who claims that “we know where he was coming from” and that “we know what he stood for”. I’d have said that was precisely what we do not know.

Spartacus led a nation wide revolt, Maximus did not
