Spartacus III: Great and Terrible

from Courage and Conflict Hosted by D.W. Hawkins

Spartacus and Crixus began the revolt as brothers in arms — but by the time the Third Servile War reached its bloody final act, the two men had split, their armies divided by strategy as much as survival. This episode traces that fracture: the divorce between Spartacus and Crixus, the battles that followed, and the crushing final defeat that ended Rome's greatest slave rebellion. Part of Courage and Conflict, a history podcast with original scoring composed and mixed by the host. More stories and free episodes at dwhawkins.com.
