The End of My Life

The Army of Crassus hastened in pursuit of me and the slave army. We met in Lucania and a desperate battle that is known as the Battle at the River Silarus. This was believed to be the final battle and where it took place of my death. In a document that was written by Appian of Alexandria ( 95B.C-165B.C) he stated that "The fight was long, and bitterly contested, since so many tens of thousands of men had no other hope. Spartacus was wounded in the thigh with a spear and sank upon his knee, holding his shield in front of him and contending in this way against his assailants until he and the great mass of those with him were surrounded and slain". My body was never found.
