The soundtrack seems to belong to several different genres.


I like Alex North's music for this epic film, but many of the tracks don't seem to fit the Sword & Sandal Ancient Roman mood at all.

The title theme sounds like it comes from one of those big 1960s WW2 epics like Battle of the Bulge.

This training montage from Spartacus' camp on Mt. Vesuvius sounds like a theme from a 1960s Western such as The Magnificent Seven.
