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.
