Recently, I have read a lot of friends leave messages after my articles, always confusing Spartacus and Spartan warriors, and recently my most written articles are about the evaluation and analysis of Spartacus. The Spartan warrior is another concept, a different existence from Spartacus.
Spartacus was the leader of the rebel army in the ancient Roman period BC, which is a bit of a Chinese Chen Sheng Wu Guang uprising, but Chen Sheng Wu Guang revolt should be earlier, according to historical records, Chen Sheng Wu Guang revolted in 209 BC, and Spartacus revolted in 73 BC.
Spartacus was a leader, gladiator, and a brilliant military man. The slave revolt he launched was so powerful that it threatened the rule of the Roman Republic. After being brutally suppressed by the Roman army, Spartacus also died in the war.
The Spartan 300 warriors usually refer to the fact that in 480 BC, the Persian king Xerxes I commanded an army of 500,000 to attack Greece, and the Spartan king Leonidas personally commanded the Greek army to hold the hot springs pass. 300 Spartan warriors used their flesh and blood to rely on the terrain advantage to prevent hundreds of thousands of Persian troops from advancing.
However, in the end, because of the betrayal of the traitors, all 300 Spartan warriors were killed, and Leonidas was also heroically killed.
From this we know that the Spartan warrior was the name of the warrior in sparta, a city-state in ancient Greece, whose leader was Leonidas.
Spartacus was the leader of an uprising and could also be the name of an uprising. Spartacus and spartan 300 Warriors cannot be confused.
If there is some connection, it is that when Xerxes attacked Greece, part of the army was Thracians, that is, the ancestors of Spartacus. Of course, at that time, the Thracians did not know that there was such a powerful gladiator in the future.
Although Spartacus and Spartan 300 Warriors were killed, the historical significance brought by the two groups of people is still very significant. Although all 300 Spartan warriors were killed, they actually killed more than 20,000 Persian troops, which was a historic war.
From then on Xerxes' fear of the Spartans reached its peak. It was also the bravery of Orenidas that brought courage and unity to the Greek coalition army, so that the Greek coalition army had more courage to fight in the next battle, and finally won the second Polish-Greek war.
Although the Spartacus uprising failed, the influence of Spartacus on future generations was also enormous, precisely because the Spartacus uprising, which set a historical precedent, led to the outbreak of slave uprisings in the later period. With these blows, Rome was forced to move from a republican system to an imperial system.
The Spartacus Revolt was the most well-known and influential slave revolt in world history, and it shook Roman rule. I think everyone will understand a little bit, right? The Spartacus Uprising is in our middle school textbooks, and maybe it's been too long for everyone to forget.
Well, I don't have much to write, today continue to watch the second season of "Spartacus", but also will watch "East Side Nightmare", there will be more wonderful sharing contributions to everyone, everyone give Shunzi a little attention.
Thanks for reading.
