📝 About the Book
In Slave Revolts in Antiquity, Theresa Urbainczyk delivers a compelling and revisionist exploration of the resistance movements among enslaved people in the ancient world. Challenging the dominant historical orthodoxy, this work contends that slave revolts were far more frequent and impactful than traditionally acknowledged.
Rather than focusing solely on well-known episodes such as the Spartacus revolt, Urbainczyk urges readers to look beyond canonical sources to uncover a broader, richer history of continuous and widespread resistance to slavery. Drawing from underutilized texts and historical evidence, the book paints a powerful picture of the resilience and agency of enslaved populations in antiquity.
This scholarly yet accessible volume is a valuable resource for students and researchers of ancient history, classical studies, and social justice. It offers a fresh lens through which to view the ancient world—not as a passive chronicle of elite power, but as a dynamic arena of struggle, resistance, and survival.
