SpartaCon

SpartaCon is the only dedicated Spartacus convention in the U.S. for fans of ancient history, culture, fantasy, and the "sword-and-shield" genres, such as Spartacus, Rome, Gladiator, 300, and other similar t.v. series and movies. 


SpartaCon 2015 was the first U.S.-based Spartacus fan convention. Just over 2,800 fans attended our inaugural event in August 2015, along with 13 Spartacus cast members. 


In 2015 and 2016, we had 10 different groups involved in the Programming, including weapons/fighting demonstrations by several cast members and stuntmen/women from Spartacus.


 SpartaCon 2017 featured gladiator battles in the arena once again, but bigger and better, with more “steel on steel”, full body contact action. 

Thank you loyal Rebels & Romans for supporting SpartaCon since 2015! You have our eternal gratitude!

UNIQUE PROGRAMMING

The Programming aspects that separates SpartaCon from other typical fan conventions are our real gladiator battles in the arena, as well as interactive demos/workshops led by Spartacus cast members. We work with a group of stuntmen/actors to train and coordinate recreated “tribute” battles from the show Spartacus as well as original battles.
