Is Caesar The Lactuclavius , Spartacus Last Battle


Recommended Posts

Unfortunately, that period of Caesar's life is one of the few areas where there is little historical evidence. It is widely assumed that Caesar served his friend Crassus during the rebellion of Spartacus, but his service is unknown.

 

We know that he returned to Rome from the east in 73 BC and was elected as a Military Tribune for 72 BC. This office held a term of 2 to 3 years. Crassus took command of the war against Spartacus in that same year and the final battle against Spartacus at Brundisium occurred in 71 BC.

 

If Caesar served with Crassus, and that's really the only 'if' here, he was most definately still considered a Tribune.
