I saw a serious documentary on Spartacus and he wasn't what Hollywood made him out to be.

Lousy General, he lost half his army when it split up, making it easy for the Romans to polish them both off.

Then when they were in Northern Italy and near freedom, they turned back south. To get wiped out.

Still Hollywood has a habit of that.
