the resulting prisoners taken by the Roman forces were offered a reward if one of them would point out their leader, Spartacus. None of them did.

There's a pretty decent theory that says Spartacus was dead by that point, and possibly quite a while before the last battle. In which case it would have been pretty hard to point at him.
