Welcome back to Bloomin’ Legends! The podcast where we uncover the wildest, most legendary, and unbelievable true stories from history!

In this episode, Johnny Vaughan and Gavin "The Woodman" Woods unleash the blood-and-sand saga of Spartacus, the enslaved Thracian who fought his way out of the gladiator arena, built an army of tens of thousands of rebels, and sent shockwaves through the Roman Empire.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

⚔️ From Slave to Soldier – How Spartacus went from captured Thracian to feared gladiator

🏹 The Great Escape – The daring breakout from the gladiator school at Capua with Kitchen tools

🔥 Rome in Panic – How Spartacus outwitted entire Roman legions again and again

⚰️ The Final Stand – The brutal end that turned him into an eternal symbol of resistance

Bloomin’ Legend or Not?

At the end of the episode, we decide: Was Spartacus a true Bloomin’ Legend? Or just the luckiest gladiator in history?
