The point about the Romans, if Spartacus had succeeded, was that they would have had to rethink their society very deeply, and not base it on slavery, which would have changed the violent basis somewhat. Possibly. And could have prevented Roman priests from destroying the Druidic Ogham libraries in Ireland, and the Thomasine church's scriptures in India. Alternatively, Rome would have become even worse, and failed sooner.
