The Second Servile War
104 BCE–100 BCE · Event
Sicily burns again: when Rome orders wrongly enslaved provincials freed and then abandons the ruling under pressure from the slaveowners, the cheated rise under Salvius and Athenion — and hold out for four years. Rome learns nothing it acts on; thirty years later the third and greatest revolt begins in Italy itself.
