The revolt of the enslaved on Sicily …

Years: 100BCE - 100BCE

The revolt of the enslaved on Sicily has nearly managed to subdue the besieged Sicilian cities by starvation, but a second Roman army under the Roman consul Manius Aquillius succeeds in quelling the revolt, only after great effort, in 100; mopping-up operations in the so-called Second Servile War will continue until 99.

This is the second of a series of three slave revolts in the Roman Republic, fueled by the same abuse in Sicily and southern Italy.
