IM SPARTACUS!!!!

A very deliberate, and well-chosen, image! Don't you see, folks? This is the climatic scene in the movie where Kirk Douglas (Spartacus) is just about to reveal himself to the Roman authorities for execution when another soldier stands up and proclaims, "I'm Spartacus!" Then another, "I'm Spartacus!", and another, starting a chain-reaction until hundreds of soldier-captives stand claiming, "I'm Spartacus"...thus saving the real Spartacus from execution! Every little move seems to be calculated here, folks, like a chess match...it's amazing!
He could just as easily have said, "I'm the Man-in-the-Moon" or "...the Mad Hatter," but that doesn't fit, don't you see? And I haven't looked, but I'll bet the Beatles site has undergone some recent rapid changes in light of recently aired "clues"...O such subterfuge for gamesmanship!

By the way, I, for one, am NOT Spartacus!...to the gallows with the fugitive, I say!

Another nauseating example of the movies re-writing history in an absurd way. The encyclopedia makes it clear that the Romans killed and crucified every goddam one of the escaped slaves.

Crucifixition was the preferred practice. Rope was in short supply.
