Third Serville War
The third major uprising of slaves (Latin: "servi") in the Roman Republic, from 73 to 71 B.C., the war of the gladiators and other slaves led by Spartacus is known to history as the Third Servile War. Unlike the prior two slave uprisings, which had occurred in Sicily, among agricultural laborers, the Third Servile War broke out with the uprising of Spartacus and his fellow gladiators on the Italian mainland, within a week's march of Rome, and threatened the social order not just of a single, isolated province, but of the entire state.
The Third Servile War was the largest and final act of internal resistance to Rome's gradual transformation from a democratic republic of small farmers and tradesmen into an imperial project of military expansion and economic exploitation. The Third Servile War demonstrated the nearly complete reliance of the Roman citizenry on the now-professionalized legions for the functioning of the late Republic's slave-based economy, and paved the way for the transformation of the Republic into an Empire ruled by those commanding the legions which maintained order.
