Spartacus was born in 109 BC.

Spartacus was a Thracian that joined the Roman army as a young man. regardless, things didn't work out for him when he tried to leave the army, was caught leaving, and was sold into slavery as a gladiator.

Spartacus lived the life of a gladiator. He was a slave who was forced to fight for the amusement of Romans. He was sent to a school for gladiators where he constantly trained to fight. He was then sent into the arena to fight animals or other gladiators. Some of the fights were to the death. He must have been both a good fighter and fortunate to survive. He became exhausted from risking his life for the entertainment of others. He wanted to escape and go home.
In 73 BC, 70  gladiators, and Spartacus as their leader, escaped from the gladiator school. They would steal their weapons and armor and fight their way to freedom. They fled to Mount Vesuvius near the city of Pompeii, gathering more slaves as they went on, adding to their small army as they went.

Rome sent an army of 3,000 men, with Claudius Glaber as the leader of the army. Glaber surrounded the slaves at Mount Vesuvius and decided to wait them out. He assumed they would eventually starve.

Spartacus, however, had a different idea. He and the gladiators used the vines from the nearby trees to repel down the side of the mountain and sneak up behind the Roman forces. They killed almost all 3,000 of the Roman soldiers.

Rome sent another army of around 6,000 soldiers. Spartacus and the slaves again defeated them.

The Romans believed in lots of gods. There were gods for just about everything. The Romans even took on many of the gods of the people they conquered. They especially liked the Greek gods. Many Romans had a shrine in their house to worship their personal household god.

The Romans adopted much of Greek Mythology into their own. They took most of the Greek gods, gave them Roman names, and then called them their own. Here are a few of major Roman gods that came from the Greeks:

Jupiter - Came from the Greek god Zeus. Jupiter was the king of the gods and god of thunder and lighting. He was the Patron God of Rome.

Juno - Juno was the equivalent of the Greek goddess Hera. Juno was Jupiter's wife and queen of the gods. Juno was considered the protector of Rome.

Mars - Mars came from the Greek god Ares. Mars was the god of war and Jupiter and Juno's son.

Mercury - Mercury was the equivalent of the Greek god Hermes. He was the god of trade.

Neptune - Neptune came from the Greek god Poseidon. He was the god of the sea and brother to Jupiter. He also was the patron of horses. Neptune's weapon was a great trident.

Venus - Venus was the equivalent of the Greek goddess Aphrodite. She was the god of love and beauty.

Apollo - Apollo was taken directly from Greek god Apollo. He was the god of music, poetry, and archery. His twin sister was Diana.

Diana - Diana was taken from the Greek goddess Artemis. She was the goddess of hunt, archery, and animals. Her symbols included the moon, the snake, and the bow and arrow.

Minerva - Minerva comes from the Greek goddess Athena. She was the goddess of wisdom.

Ceres - Ceres was the equivalent of the Greek goddess Demeter. She was the goddess of agriculture and the seasons. It's from the name Ceres that we get the name for cereal.

Vulcan - Vulcan comes from the Greek god Hephaestus. He was the blacksmith for the rest of the gods and was god of fire. The word volcano comes from the name Vulcan.

Bacchus - Bacchus comes from the Greek god Dionysus. He was god of wine and the theatre. He was the youngest of the major gods and the only one born to a mortal.

Since the Romans had many gods and the Christians believed in just one true God, Christians were often persecuted in Rome. At one point they were told to either worship and sacrifice to the Roman gods or they would be killed. Many were killed in 7the arenas by lions. When Emperor Constantine came into power he converted to Christianity and the persecution stopped.

A few years later, in 27 BC, Caesar Augustus became the first Roman Emperor and this was the start of the Roman Empire. Much of the lower level government stayed the same, but now the Emperor had supreme power.

The Colosseum in Rome is a great example of a Roman achievement. The Colosseum was a large outdoor stadium that could seat around 50,000 people for various forms of entertainment such as gladiator games, mock battles, and dramas. The huge Colosseum is freestanding and built with multiple arches to give it strength. Much of it still stands today, although earthquakes have knocked portions of it down. It is 615 feet long and 510 feet wide and took around 131,000 cubic yards of stone to make.
