Was Spartacus a roman emperor

Answer 1

No, Spartacus was not a Roman Emperor.

Spartacus was a Thracian, possibly a soldier who was either captured by a Roman Legion or served as an Auxilliary in a Roman Legion, was enslaved either for failure to served appropriatedly as an Auxilliary or because he had been captured, and trained as a Gladiator. He initiated a slave rebellion within the Roman Republic known as the Third Servile War, in an apparent attempt to escape Roman territory.

There were no Roman Emperors at the time, since it was the Roman Republic and not the Roman Empire whom he rebelled against. Spartacus rebellion occur in the late phases of the Roman Republic, & just prior to the Roman Empire.

There would not be a de facto Roman Emperor until Julius Ceasar who was technically Dictator for Life, a position contrary to the constitutional framework of the Roman Republic. Julius was the last executive of the Roman Republic.

There would not be a de jure Roman Emperor until Octavius Ceasar, better not as Augustus Ceasar, terminated the Roman Republic and initiated the Roman Empire. Augustus was the first executive of the Roman Empire. Augustus established the Principate phase of the Roman Empire which had some vestiges of the Roman Republic; this was not the case in the Dominate phase of the Roman Empire.
