Appian, The Spanish Wars

Alexandria's Appian (c.95 - c.165): One of the most underestimated people among all Greek historians, among 24 books the author of Roman history

Fortunately, he explained the good part of these preservation states of the Spanish war. From the victory of Hannibal Barca to the conquest of the Mediterranean coast, the last suppression of Emperor Augustus, all of Rome's confrontation in the Iberian Peninsula is explained.

There are two systems divided into the Spanish War: 102 parts or 16 chapters. On these pages, the text is divided into several sections; the table below shows the chapters.

At this point, there is a branch in the classic source of events that Marcus Licinius Crassus could not adjust before entering the war. The two most comprehensive (existing) war history of Appian and Plutarch detail the different events. However, neither account directly conflicts with another account, only reporting various events, ignoring specific events of other accounts, and reporting events specific to that account. After defeating Crixus, Gellius took the main slave team under Spartacus to Cisalpine Gaul and kept moving north. Lentus' army was placed on the way to Spartacus, and the consular wanted to capture the treason slaves between them. The Spartacus armies encountered the Lentzrus Corps, defeated it, beat the Gerius army, and retreated the Roman army in a chaotic manner.

In 71 BC, the Roman Senate sent a large army to handle Spartacus. Swaxus's army was defeated at the location of Puglia. The captured 6,000 slaves were crucified along the ancient path of Abi (the main road leading to Rome). Their bodies are left on the cross for several months and as warnings to other slaves these slaves may consider the possibility of opposing their Roman rulers. Some Romans believe that if you deal with them, you will get more work from slaves. They pay small slashes to their slaves. When there is enough money in the money, the slaves can buy their freedom. If a slave malfunctions, the owner may cease paying the funds, and this system is a good way to achieve full compliance. In addition, the owner can arrange for the slave to have sufficient money to buy them who are age-old and can not work.

An explanation of Plutarch's rebellion shows that slaves escape freedom and only want to leave Roman territory through the western Shahli Gaul. Appian and Florus described the uprising as a civil war in which slaves were intended to occupy the city itself in Rome. Third slave warfare had a large and widespread impact on the wider history of Rome. Pompey and Krassu used their success to promote their political career with their public praise and the hidden threats of their corps to ward the Consul-General Election of 70 BC to their advantage It was. Later consular actions greatly promoted the collapse of the Roman political regime and contributed to the transition from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire.
