Scenarios about 'third servile war'

The major slave uprising against the Roman Republic from 73-71 BCE, led by the gladiator Spartacus and other escaped slaves. This rebellion, the largest and most successful of three major slave revolts in Roman history, saw tens of thousands of escaped slaves defeat several Roman military forces before being ultimately crushed by legions under Marcus Licinius Crassus and Pompey. The conflict highlighted the vulnerability of Rome's slave-dependent economy and remains a powerful symbol of resistance against oppression.
