Factions
The Gladiators
In 73BC, the slaves from a gladiatorial school near Capua revolted against their masters and defeated the school's guards. In their escape they encountered a wagon full of weapons used by gladiators that allowed them to defeat the garrison of Capua that was sent against them as soon as the authorities there heard about the rebellion.
With the news of this first success many other gladiators from Capua, that was famous by its gladiatorial schools, as well as other slaves from the neighbouring towns, joined the rebellious slaves in the hills of Mount Vesuvius, to where they had retreated.
Their leader is Spartacus a thracian soldier that deserted from a auxiliary force of the roman army, was captured, sold as a slave, and then made a gladiator due to his strength. His experience in the ways of war, his intelligence and resourcefullness, allied with the disdainful way the Romans have faced this revolt, have given Spartacus and his people the time to prepare to meet the enemy.
