Spartak, the famous leader of the slave uprising in ancient Rome, was praised by Marx as "the true representative of the ancient proletariat". Spartak was a thracian. After being captured in a battle, he was sold to a gladiator in Kapuya for training. Spartak led the slaves to escape to Mount Vesuvius to hold an uprising. In less than half a year, the number of insurgents grew to 6.5438+0.2 million. In 7 1 BC, Spartak died heroically in the decisive battle with the slave owners' army in the port of Brindisi, and the uprising unfortunately failed.
