First Servile War : ウィキペディア英語版 | First Servile War
The First Servile War of 135–132 BC was an unsuccessful rebellion of slaves against the Roman Republic. The war was prompted by slave revolts in Enna on the island of Sicily. It was led by Eunus, a former slave claiming to be a prophet, and Cleon, a Cilician (from present-day Turkey) who became Eunus's military commander. After some minor battles won by the slaves, a larger Roman army arrived in Sicily and defeated the rebels. == Origins == Following the final expulsion of the Carthaginians during the Second Punic War, there were great changes in land ownership in Sicily. Speculators from Italy rushed onto the island, buying up large tracts of land at low prices, or occupied estates which had belonged to Sicilians of the Carthaginian party. These were forfeited to Rome after the execution or flight of their owners. The Sicilians of the Roman party also became rich out of the distress of their countrymen. According to Diodorus Siculus, politically influential slave-owners, often Roman equites,〔Photius' and Constantine Porphyrogennetos' summaries of Diodorus, quoted by Brent D. Shaw, ''Spartacus and the Slave Wars'', pp. 80-81 and 88-89.〕 did not provide enough food and clothing for their slaves. The slaves turned to banditry to survive.〔Photius' and Constantine Porphyrogennetos' summaries of Diodorus, quoted by Brent D. Shaw, ''Spartacus and the Slave Wars'', pp. 80-81 and 88-89.〕 The poorer Sicilians were the sufferers. Several decades of increasing tension finally broke out into war as the slaves revolted.
