Rebels Against Rome: 400 Years of Rebellions Against the Rule of Rome - Stephen Dando-collins

Descriere Rebels Against Rome: 400 Years of Rebellions Against the Rule of Rome - Stephen Dando-collins

\n \nThe Great Roman Empire was \nno stranger to rebellions, but who were the rebels behind these lost causes, \nand what fueled their brazen plights?\n \nDespite their many differences, the rebels of the \nRoman Empire had one thing in common: all were Romans, or onetime Roman allies, \nwho attempted to overthrow Roman rule within the bounds of the Roman Empire. Many \nof these rebels succeeded in humbling Rome, for a time. But in the end, Rome \nalways prevailed, occasionally through the ineptitude of the rebels, but more \noften through the skills of Roman generals who rose to the occasion after \nothers had failed.\n \nRome's greatest rebels took on many \nforms--including royalty, enslaved people, foreigners serving in the Roman army, over-ambitious \nRoman governors, a handful of genuine freedom fighters--but all had the courage and audacity \nto oppose the greatest empire the world had known to that time. These are their \nstories . . .\n
