First Servile War (135-132 BC): Roman Slave Revolt

The first century BC was seismic in many ways; an era of great Romans such as Pompey, Caesar, Sulla and Marius, but the Republic was also rocked by three major slave revolts, the first two centered in Rome's first province Sicily and the first of these erupting in 135 BC. The rebellion was initially focused in the central city of Enna and coalesced around the charismatic and prophetic figure of Eunus, the slave of a cruel master known as Damophilus, who apparently predicted the fall of the city and his rise to kingship before 135 BC! In this video we take a look at the First Servile War (135-132 BC), its key events and battles, as well as the heroic efforts and last stand of Cleon, Eunus' general and champion. #rome #battle #romanhistory
