Spartacus & The Third Servile War

Watch my latest history documentary here:- https://youtu.be/c3Hq6UaFQqk Few names resonate throughout the ages as much as Spartacus the gladiator. In 73 BC Spartacus led a small group of gladiators in escaping from their captivity in the southern Italian city of Capua. Rather than flee from their captors they instead chose to fight the Romans at every turn, gradually inspiring other slaves and downtrodden Italians to rise up as well. This is the story of Spartacus War. An epic conflict that very nearly brought the Roman republic to its knees.
