About this listen

Did you know that historians believe slaves constituted at least 20 percent of the Roman Republic’s population?

In ancient Rome, the use of slave labor in all levels of society was a part of the natural order. Eventually, like with any other empire, these less fortunate individuals, who found themselves with fewer rights than even livestock, would find the courage to stand up and fight for freedom against their all-powerful masters.

These revolts would turn into all-out wars and go down in the annals of time as the Servile Wars. The men and generals that fought in these conflicts would find their names forever written in the tomes of history. Some would be immortalized as heroes who stood up against tyranny, and others would be villainized. But no one could argue that these uprisings were the catalysts for change.

In this audiobook, you will learn about:

  • Slavery in ancient Rome
  • How Sicily was a hotbed for slave rebellions
  • How Spartacus brought southern Italy to its knees
  • The life of a gladiator
  • How the slave revolts changed the Roman Republic
  • Why the Roman Colosseum was built
  • How the gladiator games were carried out
  • And so much more!
