  • A really interesting and well done photo essay! I think the Spartacus story/ the third servile war is one of the more relevant (to us moderns) and interesting episodes during the extremely turbulent last century of the republic.

    Where did you find the music? I've had it stuck in my head for the past 4 days now, haha

  • @mrastill4 Pax Romana was Pox Romana, and Pax Americana is Pox Americana. When peace must be maintained by force and military pacification, then it is oppression. Every popular uprising throughout history and today can be viewed as a Servile War, a slave revolt, because a slave is any person who is not free, politically, economically, socially, culturally. True freedom is inner freedom. The music credit is: Paul Dondero (composer): Out To Play, 1974; Windham Hill Piano Sampler, Track 6.

  • I do not know.

    Maybe Wikipedia can help. The Wiki page name is "Maximus_Decimus_Mereidius".

  • @poiuteza I agree, the music could've been more epic and thrilling.

  • cool

  • Don't pay attention to any bullshit that certain twats feel they have to post. I found this very informative. Thank you for posting.

  • music suck

  • @chadkaplan19 no to both

  • 140,000 slaves. Rome must have thought this was like a huge wake-up call like 9-11 or Pearl Harbor. Maybe that's why they were so strict on their slaves. Thanks again for the informative video!

  • The crucifixion scene toward the end is realistic. The Romans supplied some kind of combination bodily support and horizontal restraint to keep the unfortunates from falling forward and bending out kind of like an archery bow. Seneca called it a 'crucem subdas' and it was designed for torture as well. (Epistles 101:10-14)
