The gladiators were flesh and blood, and their lives unfolded in blood and sand, licking blood from the tips of swords, but their lives were like grass. The life of the nobles was rotten, and their playfulness and competition for fame and fortune were all at the expense of the slaves.
The gladiatorial arena of ancient Rome was lofty, but it was built on the blood of slaves. For them, it was better to fall by the sword than to die by the whip of the master. Even at the last moment, they never retreated in the face of the fully-equipped Roman elite like dark clouds.
They fought in blood, and they were the first to defeat the Roman legions, making Rome tremble. The skills they developed to survive became their most powerful weapon. These slaves dared to rebel against their masters and against Rome. Amidst the violence and sexual spectacle, what sustained the entire story was the strong spiritual power of the slaves. However, the insurgents had limited fighting power and cohesion, and many of them were old, weak, women and children. The entire war lasted three years, and the insurgent army may have exceeded 300,000 men at its peak. More importantly, unlike the first two slave wars, which took place in Sicily, this time the revolt hit Rome itself hard. The Spartacus Revolt, which took place at the end of the Roman Republic, was the largest of the three slave wars in ancient Rome. It was a tragic story of slaves who fought in the face of their fated end, knowing that they could not do it. This is however an exhilarating silhouette, but not the end of the story.
The slaves became spectators in the simple improvised gladiatorial arena, invigorated by the blood of their enemies, while the Romans became gladiators and were slain by the slaves. When Spartacus wisely captured Tiberius and ordered the Romans to gladiatorially fight to tribute to Chris, the roles of the slaves and Romans were switched.
