Olikohan Spartacuksen poika enemmän tai vähemmän spekulaatiota? Plutarkhos kirjoittaa vaimosta, poika ehkä mahdollisesti oli:
"They say that when he was first taken to Rome to be sold, a snake was seen coiled round his head while he was asleep and his wife, who came from the same tribe and was a prophetess subject to possession by the frenzy of [the god of ecstasy] Dionysus, declared that this sign meant that he would have a great and terrible power which would end in misfortune. This woman shared in his escape and was then living with him."
Plutarkhos kirjoittaa Lucanian taistelusta, jossa Spartacus sai surmansa:
"...made straight for Crassus himself, charging forward through the press of weapons and wounded men, and, though he did not reach Crassus, he cut down two centurions who fell on him together. Finally, when his own men had taken to flight, he himself, surrounded by enemies, still stood his ground and died fighting to the last."
Aleksandralainen historioitsija Appianus kirjoittaa samasta taistelusta:
"The fight was long, and bitterly contested, since so many tens of thousands of men had no other hope.
Spartacus himself was wounded by a spear-thrust in the thigh, but went down on one knee, held his shield in front of him, and fought off his attackers until he and a great number of his followers were encircled and fell. The rest of his army was already in disorder and was cut down in huge numbers; consequently their losses were not easy to estimate (though the Romans lost about 1,000 men), and Spartacus' body was never found."
