Publisher's summary

If you want to discover the captivating history of Spartacus, then pay attention....

Almost 2,100 years ago, a gladiator walked out of the arena. And he never walked back into it.

Spartacus, a Thracian whose early life is hidden in the mists of history, is one of the most infamous figures of antiquity. Perhaps the most famous gladiator of all, parts of Spartacus’ story inspired elements of the award-winning film Gladiator (2000). Yet even though his story is familiar to millions, he remains a strangely mysterious figure, one whose innermost heart was never revealed to the world. Diving into this great man’s psyche and puzzling together his thoughts and feelings is a fascinating subject. And his story makes for gripping listening.

Audiobook about Spartacus.

It's an interesting story about how this fighter led an army against Rome and held out for an especially long time. The story prepared me and my grandsons for their Gladiator for a Day adventure and the Arena.

It is a great value and exactly what I wanted

This is an excellent audiobook for anyone involved in the history of Spartacus. Joins the historical facts of what little is known on the Spartacus War with the more important story of Spartacus and the slave rebellion that has fascinated us for so long now.
