Perhaps one of the most well recognized names from Roman history but what do we really know of Spartacus the man? Born in Thrace, he may have fought in the Roman army before being enslaved and trained as a gladiator. He would bring Rome to her knees, but was that really his objective, or was he simply a tragic hero who simply wanted to go home? Can an enemy of Rome make it into the Hall of Heroes?
