Description
NOTE: I reviewed and revised this resource for the TpT guidelines.
Spartacus, was a famous gladiator of Ancient Rome(@109 BC-71 BC) . Originally, a soldier when he tried to leave the army, Spartacus was sold into slavery. His “job” would be to entertain people as a gladiator (fighter).Spartacus would later lead an uprising of slaves seeking freedom in what historians called the Third Servile War or The Gladiator’s War. Some people also refer to the revolt, The War of Spartacus.
The reading includes a Did You Know? fact section, comprehension questions, a map activity and a teacher page with extension activities and the key.
