Personal Narrative: Spartacus

There have been many movies that try to demonstrate how gladiators trained for their violent combat against other gladiators, in hope to win and keep their lives at the end of their gruesome battles. Although, the 1960’s movie Spartacus, with Kirk Douglas, had a few differences demonstrating how actual gladiators trained in Rome, it still contains more accurate scenes displaying their intense training. The movie showed the kind of training schools they were in, the armor used, and the styles of fighting that they practiced to prepare these men, as they did hundreds of years ago in Rome.

The book The Spartacus War by Barry Strauss is an in depth look at one of Roman history’s most legendary events, the gladiator revolt led by Spartacus. Spartacus has become a legend, creating a storyline that has inspired many movies and television shows, such as Stanley Kubrick’s epic Spartacus in 1960, starring the legendary Kirk Douglas. Spartacus has inspired a perfect mix of men over time with various backgrounds and beliefs, from Stalin and Marx, to Voltaire, and even to Ronald Reagan. How though, did Spartacus create a massive revolt of slaves that would create a massive problem for the mighty Rome? Strauss attempts to create a chronology of the Spartacus War using his vast knowledge of the Italian landscape, ancient documents, and

First about the trip, first we would go from New York City to Shenandoah national park. We would then spend 11 days on the campgrounds. After we spend our 11 days in amazing nature, we would then pack up and then go to Washington D.C; the capital of the United States of America.

In the articles, “Gladiator University,” and “Did Gladiators Always Fight to the Death?” by Jennifer Marino Walters helps us change our minds about the truths of gladiators. Many people had conspiracy theories or estimates about gladiators and what they really did, but no matter how many times they would guess it always ended in a mystery. However, recent archaeological developments have changed the ways we understand how gladiators lived.

Imagine this: a fight. A fight to the death. A fight with clubs, tridents, swords, daggers, nets, and ultimate death. In the colosseum The gladiators fought during the time of the roman empire, 264 BC. The sad part of this is that these gladiators were slaves and were plucked to fight for pure entertainment, and for many other horrible reasons. The gladiators were often very misunderstood. Also the roman gladiator age was very terrible

Spartacus takes place during the first century BC, in the ancient roman empire. this empire has slid into corruption and moral decay, extensively employing the work of slaves to carry out the lesser jobs of society. these slaves are often mistreated, abused, exploited, and worked until death, as shown in the opening scene where Spartacus's friend dies from work exhaustion. This opening scene takes place in a Roman salt mine in the province of Libya, where a large group of slaves toil with pick and axe to extract the precious mineral from the ground, and Roman soldiers guard, and abuse the slaves. the commentary tells us of the hopelessness of the soldiers situation, and that the only freedom they can hope of achieving is death.

Listening to some of the most talented jazz musicians like, Louis Armstrong or Duke Ellington would have been a once in a lifetime experience. I would also want to see Babe Ruth play for the Yankees. He was one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Overall, these are some of the reasons I would travel back to the Roaring Twenties.

I am especially looking forward to the beast fighting.

As a soldier for the city-state of Sparta I feel that it is my duty to write about my experiences. We were off to fight those Athenians who call themselves soldiers. So I'll start from the beginning.

Hollywood has been making historical films for ages, trying to succeed in a film where no one can complain about historical accuracies. Unfortunately in the 200 film Gladiator director Ridley Scott did not succeed. The film Gladiator may have had some accurate points but for the most part was not faithful to Roman history. With the poor representations of Marcus Aurelius, Commodus and creating an entirely new character as well as how the gladiatorial events in the movie didn’t fully show how intricate and important gladiators really were. Finally the movie didn’t showcase the proper attire and armour that real gladiators would wear.
