Rape aside, I think they're clearly trying to build Tiberious up so that his death in the finale creates an equivalent downer to the euphoria Marcus gets from finally killing Spartacus. An even in death Spartacus still wins kinda thing.
Did Gannicus die in battle in history or is it similar to Spartacus where they never confirmed his death?

Yes, he and some other former gladiator named Castus broke off from the main rebel army and were defeated by Crassus. I don't think they'll go that route in the show. My prediction is Spartacus gets a noble death, sacrificing himself so that Gannicus can get away with some of the remaining slaves. (women, children)

Actually, the funny thing is, I think it was Gannicus that tried to do that for Spartacus in the "real" history right? I might be remembering wrong, but the slaves were on the run, and Gannicus lead a suicide charge to slow down the chasing legion. Either way, I don't think any of the leaders bodies were very verified. They could easily let anyone they want live. Gannicus has a pretty strong "redemption" storyline going, so maybe...but I'm not holding my breath, Deknight is a MASSIVE troll, and I'm sure everyone dies.

From what I've read, the only death that was in doubt was that of Spartacus, since they never found his body.
I doubt they'll kill off everyone. Glorious deaths aside, you don't want to end a series on a downer. I'm really hoping that Spartacus takes out Rape-boy.
That's pretty much what I see coming. Spartacus leads the final charge, so Gannicus can lead the remnants to safety. He fights his way to Crassus, kills Tiberius on the way, and then fights Crassus and takes a serious wound, then escapes and dies after the battle. Hmm, that leaves out Caesar though, and they are obviously gonna do something with him. I guess it would make sense for Caesar to take advantage of the chaos of that last battle to take out Tiberius himself. Probably in a dust cloud.

I'm sure they will. Just after Crixus is captured someone shouts out "Crucify him!", so I have a feeling they'll be working that into the show.

Wasn't there the whole "i am spartacus" thing where everyone claimed they were him so that he wouldn't be crucified? Maybe im thinking of the chuck heston movie where everyone was crucified anyway though.
I don't want to see Spartacus and Gannicus die but im pretty sure they will, after maybe wounding Caeser (maybe thinking they killed him) and chopping up Tiberious in front of his father. I kept thinking Crixis would have made a final lunge at Tiberious when he was on his knees, maybe taking the kid out then before being beheaded but i guess i was wrong.
