Spartacus was the most notable leader of the slaves in the Third Servile War. He led a major uprising against the Roman Republic. Spartacus' struggle was a fight against oppression for freedom. Spartacus was a brilliant tactician, and was winning against Rome, so more and people flocked to him. Crassus was given the charge of quelling the revolt. Spartacus died fighting Crassus, who had driven him south with the Roman Legions and defeated him.
