• The History: Pompey was returning from a campaign in Spain. While Crassus did the heavy fighting, Pompey intercepted 5,000 fleeing slaves and slaughtered them.

2. The Historical Index: Recovering a Fragmented Record

Traditional historical indexes of Spartacus compile all known ancient references. The most comprehensive is found in T. Robert S. Broughton’s The Magistrates of the Roman Republic (1951–1952), which indexes every mention of the revolt’s key figures. More recently, Brent D. Shaw’s Spartacus and the Slave Wars (2001) provides a translated and annotated index of all classical sources, organized by event, location, and individual name. This historical index reveals stark gaps: no entry for Spartacus’s wife (unnamed in most texts), no detailed battle tactics, and no internal rebel perspectives. index of spartacus
