Historical
Spartacus and his ragtag army take on the mighty Roman army
in a brilliant recreation of one of the best-known epics of
the modern era Spartacus has already done the
impossible—not only has he escaped from slavery, he and his
seconds have created a mighty slave army that has challenged
Rome and defeated the armies of three praetors, two consuls,
and one proconsul. On the plain of the River Po, in modern
Northern Italy, Spartacus has defeated Gaius Cassius
Longinus, proconsul and general of an army of two legions.
Now the road home lies before them—to Thrace for Spartacus,
and to Gaul for his seconds-in-command, Castus and Gannicus. But storm clouds are gathering on the horizon. One of
Spartacus's most powerful generals has defected, taking his
men with him. Back in Rome, the immensely rich Marcus
Licinius Crassus is gathering an unheard-of Army. The Senate
has given Crassus an army made up of ten legions and the
authority to do whatever it takes to end the slave rebellion
once and for all. Meanwhile, Spartacus wants to lead his men over the Alps and
home, but his two seconds have a different plan. They want
to march on Rome itself and bring the Republic to its knees.
Rebellion has become war. War to the death.
