Description:

The mighty slave army led by Spartacus has carried all before it, shredding the armies of three praetors, two consuls and one proconsul. Outside Mutina (Modena) on the plain of the River Po, he has defeated Gaius Cassius Longinus, proconsul of Cisalpine Gaul 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 massing on the horizon. Crixus the Gaul, once Spartacus' most powerful general, has defected, taking his men with him. In Rome, the hugely rich Marcus Licinius Crassus will be given ten legions and told to put an end to the slave rebellion - whatever it takes. Meanwhile a potentially fatal difference of opinion is opening up between Spartacus on the one hand and Castus and Gannicus on the other. He wants to lead his men over the Alps and away home. They want to turn back south and march on Rome itself, believing that the Republic can be brought to its knees. This division between the warrior commanders will lead to a critical turning point in the course of history and bring Spartacus himself to his day of reckoning. Rebellion has become war. War to the death.
