The Slave Wars: A Captivating Guide to the Servile Wars and Spartacus (Military History) Kindle Edition
- The Servile Wars: A Captivating Guide to the Three Slave Revolts Against the Roman Republic
- Spartacus: A Captivating Guide to the Thracian Gladiator Who Led the Slave Rebellion Called the Third Servile War against the Roman Republic
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.

Slavery in the Roman Republic
Turn the pages of history to discover how the Romans cherrypicked slaves after conquering a nation. Explore the arduous tasks that the slaves had to regularly perform, and learn how the Roman slave trade worked.
Rome as the hotbed of the Servile Wars
When and why did the slaves decide to rebel? The horrifying reality of the three Servile Wars will have you glued to your seat. Discover how the uprisings brewed waves of distrust across the country, and see how the slaves’ situation changed after each war.
Gladiators: A peculiar form of entertainment
While most slaves spent their lives working on farms or in mines, a select few were taken to train as gladiators. Learn what it took to become a gladiator, and discover how many men (and even women) entered the arena willingly. Traverse through the bone-chilling gladiator fights to uncover the group of men who dared to dream of their freedom.

Explore the life of Spartacus—a man shrouded in mystery.
And witness his thrilling battles with the Roman army!
Spartacus, who has been the subject of award-winning films and shows, was once a desperate witness to the destruction of his family and homeland. This thrilling book takes you back to the start of his murky origins.
Run along with Spartacus and his small army of men as they narrowly escaped the arena and set up camp on Mount Vesuvius. How did this leader of a ragtag group of gladiators manage to accumulate 100,000 followers?
While the Third Servile War is the most memorable of these wars, the other two wars were equally as important. So, fasten your seatbelt, and discover how these wars helped change slavery by the time of the Roman Empire. Their tales will stay with you long after you put this book down!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent bundle!
This book pair complements each other perfectly. “The Servile Wars” describes more in detail the horrific lives suffered by slaves under the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. There were three uprisings, the third being led by Spartacus. More attention is given to the rebellion and provides a brief introduction to Spartacus.
“Spartacus” focuses more on the historical character Spartacus; his background; his training; the atrocities of the Roman elite that lead to the rebellion. Movies do not do justice to history. One must read & comprehend it to appreciate & fully understand life as it was during this period.
Another winner from the Captivating History series. I would also recommend “The Roman Games” which would complement this bundle.
