The Servile Wars examines the three major slave revolts that challenged the Roman Republic in the second and first centuries BC. It follows the uprisings in Sicily and culminates in the rebellion led by Spartacus in Italy, explaining how large enslaved populations, brutal conditions and Roman military commitments created opportunities for resistance. The book also considers the armies sent to suppress the revolts and what the wars reveal about slavery’s central place in Roman society.
