What disadvantage did Spartacus's army face against Rome?

  • Poor leadership

  • No cavalry

  • Fewer numbers

  • Lack of training

Answer

Lack of training was a critical disadvantage faced by Spartacus's army in their fight against the well-trained and disciplined Roman legions. This deficiency stemmed from the composition of Spartacus's forces, which primarily consisted of escaped slaves, farmers, and gladiators, in contrast to the professional and experienced Roman soldiers.
