Spartacus was enslaved - one of millions taken from territories conquered by Rome to work the mines, till the fields or fight for a crowd’s entertainment. Imprisoned for deserting the Roman Army, he and other enslaved people fought their way free and started a rebellion. How did an enslaved man become synonymous with freedom and courage? Fiona Radford delves into the life and legend of Spartacus.

Crassus lived, but Spartacus became immortal
Crassus is also very well known
Pitbull00000 not really lol
Well if people still say his name in 2019, he may have been immortal as well..
@@tyranasouras He's well known for the disaster at the battle of Carrhae against the Parthians
"immortality is possible"-a quote in my classroom
The guy is Talking about blood, death and murder But his voice can still be peaceful enough to put you to sleep!
I find it nice to listen to. It's not exaggerated. It states what happened clearly and let's the details of the story itself, not his voice, ring its own impact.
My throat hurt listening to the voice

Man it was super hard to quit your job back then.
True! The only 2 options were dying naturally after retirement without pension or dying on your work day.
@@snehabasu7847 You forgot option 3 - quit your job as Sparticus did.
it still is if they don't except your resignation papers then ya cant leave
If you were a Roman soldier, you're looking at 25 years before you can retire. Granted, you get a pretty good retirement package, but you have to stay alive for 25 freaking years! In Roman times!
and it is now impossible. You quit your jop to go work for someelse to pay the bill? What would change? At least slaves could rebel and win few battles before being defeated. What can you do now? Punch the warplanes?
He fulfilled his destiny. He died a free man and his movement has an impact even today. A true legend.
“In 73 BCE, Spartacus led 73 other slaves” *Coincidence?* *I THINK NOT*
Plus they wouldn't have known it was 73 BC back then

I just wanted to write this
Oooh I think you’re onto something.
Why did we stop naming our children like this.... i mean spartacus sounds way cooler than "sam" or "james". Nice vid.
Some kid might find it's edgy and bully the child if he doesn't live to him name though. The world is harsh.
shieeeet

@Ragnar definitely. But he had the courage and balls to step up to the plate and do his best and I respect him for that.

I love how historically accurate the series "Spartacus" is
More Accurate than Vikings
@@luc7478 😂 true vikings just add some interesting parts in the show.
@@ulqourra6624 I love the show i watched all seasons. Vikings don't record their civilization like the others did (Egyptians, Romans, Asyrians, Greeks...) . All the few things that we know about Vikings comes from The English Kingdom and The most detailed description about their way of life comes from the Arabic Nomads they were friends and did some tradings. So we know about Bikings from indirect sources their point of view.
Except it isnt. Just look at what it did to my people (Thracian Dacians/ Getae). They're depicted like savages despite being the most honorable of the thracians according to Herodotus

@@Skullman367 probably a quote from the show dumdum.
@@Skullman367 and according to his legend liberty was his sole concern...so....
@@grekygrek My comment was directed at the show. Spartacus' rhetoric was probably one of racism and deep loathing of the Romans given the cultural context. The show Spartacus is what modern westerners wish he was like (and what I wish he was like).
The 2010 tv show Spartacus was actually more accurate than I thought it was, which makes me very happy because I love that show!
Accurate to Plutarch? Not really, but since not much was known about the actual spartacus they could direct the series in any way they wanted while being pretty accurate at the same time. It was great.
@Alex Clausing It's obviously an arch in Pluto, commemorating Spartacus and his army.
Thought exactly the same although apparently some things were changed in order and of course the story was embellished it kept true as a whole.
Except it isnt. Just look at what it did to my people (Thracian Dacians/ Getae). They're depicted like savages despite being the most honorable of the thracians according to Herodotus.
@@BlueShiftna Your people?
And then they say you cannot change the world by yourself. Sure you can, but first you have to think with your own head and then act accordingly.
Except as the video put it, although Spartacus wanted to head north, he could not do so without his growing army. Unable to control 120,000, they all end up perishing by heading south. You can change a lot with just you and even a couple others if you are lucky, but the world? Sure, we remember him now, but still: individual autonomy is not infinite.
You can’t cause meaningful change just by yourself, it takes collective action. He didn’t take down any Roman legions by himself, it was a lot of people banding together for liberation from imperialist tyranny
Until your butchered by centurions and crucified 😊
Change starts within yourself. Spread the positivity and love across the world and everything will follow

It is believed that Spartacus was not his real name but rather a name given by the audience or batiatus. His real name is unknown
it's Andy Whitfield.
@@DRiungi May he rest in peace.
It's also not known for sure if he was truly a Thracian- only that he fought in the Thracian style of fighting, which many gladiators used (even if they weren't actually from Thrace).
thats just in the tv show
Well, there's very little that we do know of either Sparticus or his compatriots - we don't have any records that tell their side of the story in this conflict.
I give Spartacus a lot props, he was the first to prove that not was slavery in all forms wrong but there is always a way to escape it!
Man, the animation right here is just world class and topnotch! Give the animator a big hefty raise!
All I could think about is Spartacus blood and sands on Netflix such a good show
Nathan Pearse great show
Same, watched all the seasons they where lit🔥👌🙏
I thought it was way to fantasy-esque.
Yvaine ending was so sad tho
Akillesursinne actually the show has a lot in common with this video
“Distributing spoils equally” *Communism Intensifies*
Fun fact: Marx listed Spartacus as on of his heros and called him "the most splendid fellow in the whole of ancient history" and a "great general, noble character, a real representative of the ancient proletariat."
Yes
@@charlieputzel7735 More like because he felt it was fair...and to keep people from deserting or looting unwanted targets. It's not the first time this happened. The roman legions also shared the spoils BUT with the highest in command receiving more than the soldiers, which sometimes didn't get nothing at all or sometimes they did but the general was allowed to choose. It really depended on the person that was leading the troops.
And capitalist tax breaks to coporations corrupts absolutely
Hahahahha lol
Anyone seen the show Spartacus? Such a badass show!
I have watched it over about 7 times now. My favorite series by far.
Yeah so good 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, it's great. Such a missfortune that Andy Whitefield died after season 1... He was such a good actor.
It's very graphic, violent, etc.
Paw Kler so it’s pretty accurate to the time period
this is one of the most accurate looking visuals that serves information as well as aestethics in the same time. I have to thank the animators for this
THIS IS TED-ED!!!
THis is Ted.Ed putos!!!!
It has nothing to do with Sparta ^^
TED-ED just made history more interesting and more easy to understand, since my teacher is not really great at explaining history TED-ED might be my last hope
Agreed, these Videos would make GREAT visual aids in History classes, I wonder if some teachers use them, with credit to the authors. If I was a student, I would be riveted.
No wonder the series rocked so hard, the story and moves of the real Spartacus is badass!
3:37 when the hero became the villain and a great dream became a nightmare
TED-Ed Nailed it again....Made History interesting..💓
You should watch the channel of @kingsandgenereals and @invicta
I spent three weeks watching part of the series in Netflix.
History is interesting in itself, it doesn’t need something to “make” it interesting
Kind of how people got nailed to the cross
Once again, superb animation! Id watch a 2hr movie of this!
just watch spartacus - blood and sand and go from there. its amazing. and the story of this animation is taken from that series rather than history.
What about a 2.1 hour long movie or a 1.9 hour movie
no
marble89 ive seen it
Binge watching all your stories. You never disappoint. You sir know how to tell a great story. Well done
Awesome accurate animations. Interesting how the slaves were put to death nealed on a stake and not on a crux.
Slavery is just a synonym for eternal non-paying internships
So basically volunteering
@@AJDaBaws involuntary volunteering with whipping added
Ahhhh I think they'll significantly different
Being enslaved is far worse than working for nothing. Many jobs in life can be described as 'eternal non-paying internships', parenting being one. Slavery is like parenting someone else's children at the point of a whip.
@@MadNotAngry its sarcasm and an understatement
The animation in this video is absolutely stunning, well done to the animators!
Yeah it’s amazing
과거의 역사를 알아보는 것은 굉장히 즐거운 일입니다. 무려 몇 천년도 더 된 과거의 이야기를 영상으로 재구현하여 감상할 수 있다는 사실에 큰 감사를 드리며 이 영상의 제작자분들이 앞으로도 좋은 역사 영상을 만들 수 있기를 응원합니다.
Thanks TED-Ed. İ am hearing many things about to Spartacus from my childhood to now but i have never read his story before. Finally i have learnd it as many others in five minutes. Thank you so much again.
I always here these names in pop culture etc and never know the backstory, thanks TedEd I love anything Ancient Rome/Greece/Egypt
The series Spartacus is truly amazing. Everyone who watched this amazing video should watch the series as well!
It’s 2023 and I’m watching it and obsessed
"Glory and Wealth, power of Rome, built on the shoulders of millions of slaves." Triumvirat. "Glory and Wealth, Power of America, built on the shoulders of millions of Wage Slaves."
Yep, America is the only country that does this, nope no other country only america.
No Karen, working minimum wage for Walmart is not the same thing as being an enslaved Gladiator in Ancient Rome.
And, you know, actual slaves also
America was built over true slaves, not by wage ones. Slavery in America was quite worse than that in Rome
Like Hannibal, he forgot that Rome may lost battles but never wars.
*laughs in Aleric*
Not yet anyway
A straw can’t break the camel’s back without those that came before it
These videos are always great
The music for this one is also very good.
i just finished to watch the tv Serie Spartacus and jesus one of the best tv show i`ve watched in my life. i recommend.
Cool series. Highly dramatic though
Spartacus TV Series Is Hands The Greatest TV Series I Have Ever Seen, And Definitely My All Time Favorite TV Show, It Was Incredibly Accurate.
Spartacus be like: "Started from the bottom now we here!"
And now the whole team was here 😂🤣
Watching ted Ed animations taught me a lot. They are inspiring, Their animation and audio really make it enjoyable to watch, and I appreciate that you guys made these videos!

My day instantly brightens when I see that TED-Ed uploads! Informative and amazing animation as always.
I felt like watching a movie at the same time learning history. Thanks Ted-Ed!
I love the art here. It very much reminds me of the same art direction of Apotheon. Both are inspired by the famed Greek pottery.
The art in this one is absolutely phenomenal!
Why do so many people view bad content like the KZhead rewind and so less people view this extraordinary piece of art? TED-Ed is the best channel on KZhead
This is a great channel. If you like this kind high quality content, I suggest you watch Kurzgesagt. I'll place it above Ted-ed
TED-e isn't bad but there have been some pretty bad ones they have put out. Although these videos are created and authored under different people so that may be more so their fault rather than TED-ed as a whole.
I love the series. So good. Obviously they took some liberties but omg so freaking good. I was seeing so much of the show in my head as you spoke. Great video btw
Braveheart feels like nothing after watching this. Very informative video about the classic rebel hero of ancient Rome. Thanks for the interesting and fun video to watch. I hope to see more content like this and learn.
REBEL vermin. EGO CRASSVS!
I just watched Spartacus the movie from 1960 for the first time a month ago, so this seems really fresh in my brain in terms of learning about history. Great video, BTW.
I LOVE TED ED. JUST LOVE IT. ESPECIALLY THESE KINDS. 😍😍

The whole video is invigorating!!!!! It also help me with my homework. Thanks a lot.

I like the movie.
Yes
Crassus suffered a worst death though at Carhae
what happened to him?
@@masterchief7301 Crassus and all of his officers were killed were killed in the battle of Carhae. Crassus died in a scuffle, possibly killed by Pomaxathres. Seven Roman eagles were also lost to the Parthians, a great humiliation to Rome as they heavily outnumbered the Parthians. But there were many tactical errors on Crassus' part that led them to defeat. Plus, the ''Parthian shot'' was lethal in open ground (Carhae was a in a desert)
@@Lb_Collects He was already completely decimated since learning his son died in the battle and probably wanted to die anyway. They made him ride around on a decked out golden horse as they all jeered him until finally the fight broke out. Plutarch said that his head was removed and used by the Parthians as a prop in a greek play.
Some say Crassus was the richest man who ever lived- richer, in his day, than Nelson Rockefeller or Bill Gates were in their day.
@@AbbeyRoadkill1 possibly
You know why it was so successful? Because He had “Sparta” in his name
But spartans were one of the most brutal slaveowners
HAIL SPARTA. HAIL CRASSVS!

@@martytu20 Very true. Crassus was defeated in the Middle East and literally lost his head.
Just swallow it whole ;)
The Parthians used his skull for drinking and for sticking their penises in it.
Great storytelling matched with great animations
I dont know why, but when the final scene of the word "Freedom" on the pot turns and Spartacus shows up, just can't help but feel a little shaken. And a question keeps creeping up, what if he had crossed the roman border and went to the Alps? A new kingdom? Spartacus becoming a king? A war? But then what? He was a born general, and charismatic individual with talent kingship, but what about his family? His sons? His grandsons? You know the line "Die as a hero or watch yourself become a villain" really shows up. A kingdom is born as a legend, fights to the death for existence, has a king who very existence personifies freedom, but doesn't this seem very close to every kingdom? History repeats itself, and I think Spartacus knew this, if he was really thinking of creating a kingdom he would have gone to the alps, but he didn't, because he didn't want a kingdom. He wanted Freedom. And freedom is only there when the ones who imprisoned you aren't breathing anymore. It slowly didn't just become a story of a man and his idea and drive and how he achieves freedom, but that of a man who fought for freedom, found power, and soon wanted revenge. Spartacus proves that he was a man, and not a god, and certainly not perfect, When you always get stabbed and one day finds yourself wielding a knife it's a test, are you achieving freedom? or..revenge. In the ending, he chose the latter, and in the words of his people and memories of the past, he chose not the part of freedom and the unknown, but of revenge and the in his mind the inevitable.
Spartacus didn't really had a king complex, just a leader complex, he distributed all the loots equally among his people, had no problem his own people criticizing them, kings didn't do that, certainly not at the time. Him not going to alps was down to his people not wanting to go there. Spartacus by that time was no longer a lone Ranger any more but face of a movement. That movement at the time wanted revenge on Rome & pillage it's empire. Spartacus went with that.
As Karl Marx once said, he (spartacus) is "the most splendid fellow in the whole of ancient history, a great general, noble character, a real representative of the ancient proletariat."
And as in all things, Marx was right
Yes, impeccable Marxist dialectic, which has remarkably been able to disregard EVERY law of the economic sciences without exception. Remind me again, as to why every socialist nation/politburo sees tens of millions of its indigenous citizenry attempt to defect or flee from the "communitarian workers' paradise" it has created.
@@nicholasstancel LMFAO. Over 1 billion people have died at the hands of imperialism and capitalism in the last 2 centuries. Do not come here and try to obtain a faux moral highground. Communism has never been implemented in the world as was described by marx. Socialist and marxist uprisings by individuals in 'third world countries' were crushed by capitalist imperialists. Yet you think for some reason that you are right
@@evannesbitt7852 No, he wasn't. He couldn'd even fathom human desire nor economic inevitability. Communism doesn't work in practice, communism doesn't work on paper.
@@8is communism is a self destruct ideology
4:28 That's what happens when greed overtakes you.
Zayem Faiyaz Also what happened later to Crassus at Carrhae
the vid made it pretty clear it wasn't his decision to turn back
Not greed, rather lack of clarity. The army had a military command, but not a political command. What were they aiming for? What was the goal? To overthrow the government? Escape Rome? Lie around? The overall vision of the army was unfocused, it was okay when Rome did not realize how great this threat was, but eventually the well-disciplined, accurately precise, and deadly Romans would overtake this militia of untrained masses, however great their tactics were.
Spartacus' army understood that trying to hide from the Romans was futile. For most, their homelands had already been conquered. Where were they going to go? To a foreign land like Gaul or Germany where they might've just been enslaved again? To say "greed" is what caused them not to flee across the Alps misreads the situation. Remember, most of Rome's armies were out in the provinces fighting wars. By leaving Italy they would've put themselves closer to Rome's biggest armies. In theory, they had a solid idea: go to Sicily-- a place that had a long history of rebelling against the Romans-- recruit more soldiers, and make a stand there. They just weren't able to pull it off. They underestimated how quickly Rome would muster reinforcements.
Gorgeous animation! Well done, Ted Ed
This video animation style reminds me a lot of Apotheon, a 2D action/adventure platformer. One of my absolute favorite game.
By far my favourite animation in TEDeDs videos its like I'm watching a animated movie. 💕

Your video is well-received. You are indeed a brother, Ted-Ed.
An interesting side note, Spartacus was one of Karl Marx’s heroes, for he saw him as a hero for the proletariat
And one of the Communist groups in Germany which tried to take power in the years after WWI was called the Spartacus League (Spartakusbund in German)
Karl Marx, the spoiled kid, and Spartacus have little in common
Not a Dude they both strongly opposed slavery and sought the liberation of disenfranchised people, though Marx didn’t do any literal fighting on any battlefields
@@CollinBuckman Remember the Spartan Rebellion?
Despite Spartacus' deeds and name being synonymous with freedom there isn't any conclusive historical evidence that he wanted to end slavery in the Roman Empire.
The animation is such a gem.
