Was the revolt of Spartacus a major thing or it has become famous for its "muh slave rebellion" meme worth?
The name is dope as fuck.
Spartacus. It can't be forgotten. It's impossible.
It was the Hannibal of slave revolts. But it has largely been romantized by later societies for their own gain (like communists).

Yes, the disorder caused by the rebellion was used by Crassus and Pompeii in their initial bids for power, allowing them both to bring their legions into Italy and use them to acquire consulships (Pompeii was too young to be a consul legally, but when you have 4 legions outside of Rome you can get that ignored). Beyond that, it was one of the causes of the Caesarian slave and land reforms. These fundamentally changed the structure of Roman life and the Roman economy

I wonder how film makers come up with these utterly ridiculous arms and armour.

TOUCH ME SPRATACUS
>>1156858
well, he was fighting for show, so its not a stretch to say that his armur was made for show aswell

He's dressed like He-Man. Not like a historical person. And what's up with that sword? Is that supposed to be some oversized gladius? It's certainly not a Spatha, and the hilt is way too long for that time period.

No its the right size, hes not using a roman sword but a sica. Used by gladiators and came from the Halstatt culture.
Spartavus a shit

>He's dressed like He-Man
Gladiator's armour was not an armour at all, it's retarded by design.
It was all for showmanship on arena and for "balance" because they had diverse classes with their own advantages, trade-offs and strategically opened places.
>>1158691
That is the wrong hilt for a sica.

Gotta say it looks pretty similar to the sica hilt found on Trajan's Column
>>1160272
Not really. Take a look at the pommel and guard. Not to mention the length and geometry of the blade.
