Ancient Rome's hunger for conquest was matched only by its hunger for combat--especially in the form of its brutal gladiator contests. But in 73 BC, Spartacus, a slave and gladiator, led a revolt against the Romans that shook the empire to its root. In time, about 90,000 men--mostly runaway slaves--joined Spartacus's rebellion, waging often-successful--yet ultimately futile--battles against the Roman army. This colorful, dynamic biography will have readers marveling at the life of Spartacus, ancient freedom fighter.
