Few names resonate throughout the ages as much as Spartacus the gladiator.

In 73 BC Spartacus led a small group of gladiators in escaping from their captivity in the southern Italian city of Capua. Rather than flee from their captors they instead chose to fight the Romans at every turn, gradually inspiring other slaves and downtrodden Italians to rise up as well.

This is the story of Spartacus' War. An epic conflict that very nearly brought the Roman republic to its knees.

I've compiled a reading list of my favourite history books via the Amazon influencer program. If you do choose to purchase any of these incredible sources of information then Amazon will send me a tiny fraction of the earnings (as long as you do it through the link) (this means more and better content in the future) I'll keep adding to and updating the list as time goes on:-
