full of weapons; NO
3)about 120,000 slaves/followers
4)in Southern Italy, near the headwaters of the Siler river.
5)Marcus Licinius Crassus

oppression. And Spartacus endeavored to bring his forces out of Italy toward freedom rather than
to reform or reverse Roman society. And it wasn't only the nobles/governing class that would react to the revolt, but everybody (Italy).
