In the fourth episode of Spartacus, Spartacus accepted endless humiliation, was beaten and tortured by his master, and was looked down upon by other gladiators. Spartacus is an ancient Roman historical drama, directed by Michael hearst, rick jacobson and T·J· Scott, starring Liam MacIntyre, manu bennett and Daniel Frege.

Before the Spartacus uprising, a slave heard about the plan and told Caesar that Caesar was still young and was making sacrifices to Jupiter. Caesar secretly met Spartacus and expressed his support. Until Spartacus was defeated, Caesar was still a sacrifice of Jupiter and had no real power.

Caesar first mastered the army in Gaul, when Spartacus was already dead. During the uprising, on the one hand, Caesar sympathized with slaves; on the other hand, if Caesar wanted to hold real power, he must weaken the power of Pompeii and crassus. War is bound to cause chaos in Rome, and Caesar can take advantage of it.

Activity background:

In ancient Rome, there were large manors that used slave labor on a large scale everywhere, and slaves were called "talking tools". For fun, slave owners built a huge arena, forced slaves to fight in pairs, and let gladiators kill each other with swords and daggers in their hands.

After a battle, the bodies of slaves were left on the battlefield. The brutal rule of slave owners forced slaves to launch large-scale armed uprisings again and again.

The main reason for the uprising is the class contradiction within the Roman slave society (that is, the contradiction between slave owners and slaves deprived of human rights and brutally exploited). Lenin pointed out: "Spartak started the war to defend the enslaved class." The uprising was initiated by a group of slave gladiators (more than 70 people) who escaped from the gladiator school in Lundulus Bachiatus (Kapuya City).
