'''Spartacus''' was a Thracian gladiator and leader of a slave revolt in 73-71 BCE.
==Overview==
There is no historical connection between Spartacus and the Jews. Spartacus was a Thracian and lived before Judea fell under Roman rule. However, the similarities with the Maccabean revolt and the fact that 6,000 of his followers were crucified, has made him a character of some interest for Jewish and Christian studies. The unlikely connection between Spartacus and the Jews was made explicit in fictional accounts, by [[Arthur Koestler]] and [[Howard Fast]], who reckoned some Jews among Spartacus' closest followers and friends.
