Spartacus (1x3)

Fecha de emisión: Feb 29, 2008

In 73 BC a deserter from the Roman Army was sold into the slave market. A few months later he led his fellow slaves and gladiators in a bid for freedom that turned into the greatest rebellion the Roman Empire ever faced. With extraordinary vision and bravery, he led his renegades to victory against the ‘invincible’ Roman legions, brought the Empire to the brink of revolution and won immortal fame as an icon of oppressed people around the world. His name was Spartacus. Defeated in a final clash on the headwaters of the Siler River, six thousand of his men were captured and crucified on the Apian Way, but the body of Spartacus was never discovered. He lives on in legend as one of the great warriors of all time – and an inspiration for freedom-fighters throughout history.
