    Spartacus is one of the best historical series there has been. It's style is suitable for expounding on the fact that Rome was bloody and parts of it's moral or immoral character if you wish is beyond what can even be shown on video today at least in legal terms. It's writing was top notch and even though the main actor Andy Whitfield passed they were still able to replace him acceptably and end the series with honor and in an entertaining fashion. This is unheard of and too bad they could not have realized the HBO series Rome to the same extent. Thanks for the video.

      What you never have thought is this:
      If Spartacus could turn around the Roman world And he could have the Romans as slaves he would have done that.
      His rebellion was not about stop slavery, but about to make another state out of Rome.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the full Spartacus series and last episode was incredible. Spartacus's death was treated also like when Christ was taken down from the Cross where he was surround by compatriots at his death and the clouds parted and sun shined upon him. I was blown away by that cause I was rooting for the army of slaves and not the Romans.

    Spartacus did not defeat the Roman Empire, he marauded within Italy during the Roman Republic, which was anything but "almighty". He was a trained soldier and an auxiliary of the Roman Army that broke his oath to his command and ended up in chains for it, which was appropriate for anyone who broke their commitments in ancient military orders. He was given the opportunity to have a place withing civilization. an opportunity anyone in his position would have dreamt of, but instead chose to rampage through Italy and slaughter innocent civilians along the way.

    • @Monatio79
