The First Servile War of 135–132 BC was an unsuccessful slave uprising against the Romans on the island of Sicily, in Enna.
The uprising was mostly caused by great changes of property ensuing upon the final expulsion of the Carthaginians, about the middle of the Second Punic War. Speculators from Italy rushed into the island and, to the general distress of the Sicilians, bought up large tracts of land at a low price, or became the occupiers of estates which had belonged to Sicilians of the Carthaginian party and had been forfeited to Rome after the execution or flight of their owners.

Damn it, Carthage is always an issue. :palm:

Don't be hating on Carthage. What's there to say about the war, really? what sort of discussion do you wish to prompt? was spartacus a total tool or not? was turning back from a successful escape as dumb an idea as it seems?

That it was an unsuccessful slave uprising. That's really all one can say about that war.
