From 73 - 71 B.C.E., Spartacus led a revolt by escaped slaves that shook the foundations of the Roman Empire. This movie is a fictionalized account of that rebellion. The film successfully captures the sense of the time, the brutality of a gladiator's life, the hard lot of the Roman slaves, and the decadence of the Roman ruling class. It presents the most important slave revolt in Roman history in a way that children will remember.

Learning Guide Excerpt
To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers to develop lesson plans, and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out below a paragraph from the Learning Guide to Spartacus.
Slavery was brutal and degrading for most Roman slaves. Many were prisoners of war. The children of these prisoners were slaves for life. Most slaves worked on the land or in the houses of the wealthy as domestic servants. They were considered expendable and little better than cattle or oxen. However, when slaves received manumission they became full Roman citizens. Former slaves with superior abilities could do well under the Roman system.
The Learning Guide to the film Spartacus contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
