Roman Slave Rebellions: First Servile War
Kings and Generals is starting another animated historical documentary series, this time about the most prominent Slave Rebellions in the Roman Republic. These so-called Servile Wars, among them those on Sicily and the one led by Spartacus were able to shake Rome and probably were among the reasons the Republic would be transformed into the Empire. Welcome to our video on the first Servile War and its leader Eunus.

Thank you for these videos about Rome you guys. It brings me back to good times with my grandpa, he was huge on all things Roman. Had a huge collection of most books ever written or translated into my language about Rome before the year 2000. He'd spend hours telling me stories about stuff like this. Deep into his Alzheimer's he'd continue talking about Rome, occasionally losing the thread and just as quickly picking up another one. When people talk about Cicero (his favorite Roman) my mind automatically imagines him as my gramps. I brought up the idea of putting Cicero's "The life of the dead is placed on the memories of the living." on his tombstone but my family weren't big fans. I hope grandpa, from somewhere beyond, appreciated the thought at least haha. I miss him dearly, thanks again for all the hard work you put into these. From narration, animation, writing and researching, top notch job on all fronts.

First of anti roman revolts to be covered?! Oh man, please cover the Iberian Peninsula revolts and wars against Roman conquest!

The Celtiberians and the rest of the peoples of ancient Iberia are some of the most underrated badasses of the Ancient World, never fully conquered by Carthage, it took Rome like century and a half to fully control the region, they formed the core of Sertorius' guerilla, also repelled the same german tribes that had just dealt Rome its worst defeat since the times of Hannibal, Numancia resisted years under siege until the best roman general of his generation ended the conflict, etc.; it is sad that in general they are pretty much unknown.

If you are prepared to judge the slaves just make sure that you have a real understanding of how unrelenting vile ALL slave systems really are.

Just a slight correction, though: the city in northern Calabria, near Thurii (modern day Rossano) is not called "Cosentra" but "Cosentia" or "Consentia", from the word "Consensum" because it was founded by a Brutian league. It still exists now, and it is called Cosenza.
