So far so good, but might I suggest a small change?

Spartacus was a runaway slave, and even the Emperor of Rome didn't have many pairs of blue shorts in his wardrobe. Ragged shorts, same colour as his brown top and with bare feet would be ideal, but I'm not sure they exist. Some form of brown shorts with sandals or bare feet would be better.

Nice job, SW! Thanks for sharing! :)

I haven't seen any barefoot klickies with ragged shorts. Don't recall ever seeing any brown shorts either. :(
However, ragged trousers do exist in the Pirate theme.

Most of the shorts-wearing figures I've seen with the pale skin colour have blue, red, or white shorts. They're usually found in sets from the Leisure theme. I think there is also a female figure in a recent dollshouse set with purple shorts.

None of those sound like they would work very well on your Spartacus figure - unless you want to try your hand at some painting. :)

Spartacus probably wore a tunic and no trousers. 

But I'm probably wrong.

I think Spartacus was originally a Celt, so maybe he would have worn pants, if his masters didn't completely re-wardrobe him in Roman clothing.
