Crixus was a Gallic gladiator and military leader in the Third Servile
War. Born in Gaul, he was enslaved by the Romans under unknown circumstances and trained as a gladiator in Capua. His name means "one with curly hair" in Gaulish.
He fought along side Spartacus, rampaging and looting. They separated because Spartacus wanted to
train in the hills against the Romans but Crixus was having too much fun plundering. This
led to his
death but it was very honorable, he was defeated with his stubborn head held high.
Crixus was told he would freeze
outside but decided to stay in the
yard because he didn't want his friends to think his
mom ran his life.
