Spartacus

Aldo Schiavone

Translated by Jeremy Carden

“This is a highly readable, interesting inquiry into a man and a movement that will never be fully understood.”—Jay Freeman, Booklist

“The author’s goal is to separate the man from the myth and provide a more accurate historical context… Both the newcomer and the experienced Roman historian will find a wealth of entertainment and information.”—Publishers Weekly

“Given current interests in resistance and rebellion, books on Spartacus are proliferating, but this one is different. From the commanding perspective of an eminent historian of Rome, it provides both a critical account based on the original sources and a highly readable narrative of one of greatest slave wars in world history. Schiavone offers a careful reconstruction of what might have happened and a compelling analysis of a losing cause.”—Brent Shaw, Princeton University
