  • The Rise of Spartacus

    The Rise of Spartacus
    Jun 27 2026

    In this episode, we cover the conditions in Rome after the death of Sulla. The legions fighting in far-flung corners of the Republic, manipulative climbers manning the Senate, and a storm brewing right at home.

    We cover the rise of the man, the myth, the legend--Spartacus. His origins, his time as a gladiator, and the tiny act of rebellion that spiraled into an all-out war.

    I also talk about where I've been and where the show is going from here. In short, we're starting season two, and expect an episode every two weeks.

    Don't forget to follow the show; please like, comment, share, and do all those wonderful things. You can always find out more about me at my website, dwhawkins.com, where you can also enter my fantasy worlds and dive into my books.
