REBELS The Rebels are a band of escaped slaves and gladiators who fought against the Roman Republic, under the leadership of Spartacus, with three generals at his side: Crixus, Gannicus and Agron. They were typically slaves however some citizens took part in aiding Spartacus and the rebels due to their negative feelings toward the Republic. The first group of rebels formed at Batiatus' ludus, and over time, the numbers swelled as Spartacus freed more slaves from various villas, as well as others seeking him out to join his cause. The rebels grew into an army, and those capable of fighting, do, while the others simply offer their support (i.e weaving, cleaning, cooking, etc), as they embrace the cause, yearning for a life of freedom from slavery.
These were known as camp followers who were civilians within the rebel army, consisting of non combatants such as elederly, those who were disabled, mothers, prostitutes, and children too young to fight. Within the ranks of the Rebels, any person is free to do as they please, which also includes the option of leaving though this rarely happens. The Rebels arm themselves with weapons from fallen Romans, and eventually, were able to create their own makeshift armor worn into battle.
