Where was Spartacus killed, and does he have a grave?

 

No he has no grave - Men like Spartacus don't get graves. They get erased.

He was killed in southern Italy-71 BC.

The final battle against Crassus, near the Siler River.

This was not a clean death-He died in the frontline.

The history people say he was wounded by a spear in the thigh, fought on one knee, and was finally cut down - Overwhelmed.

When the battle was over, there was just a field of 60,000 dead rebels.

The Romans looked for his body.

A prize, but they never found it.

He was just one more corpse in mud - vanished into the slaughter he made — His only memorial was the 6,000 slaves, Crassus crucified them - along the Appian Way.

That was the grave Rome gave his rebellion. It was a warning.
