A Brief History
Also known as the Sparticus Revolt, The Third Servile War was a slave revolt lead by Sparticus, a gladiator who was formerly a Roman soldier. He escaped from the gladiator school he was being trained at along with a band of fellow slaves, and took refuge at the foot of Mt. Vesuvius. More escaped slaves began to flock to them and his army grew, alarming the Senate into taking action. Sparticus proved to have exceptional skill in commanding his army, which won many victories in quick succession, foiling many plans to staunch their rebellion and growing his army by the hundreds. However, infighting in the army soon lead to divides within Sparticus's army, and he eventually was defeated by Praetor Marcus Licinius Crassus. Spartacus was killed in battle, and hundreds of his surviving troops were slaughtered on a main roadside in Rome as a brutal warning against further rebellions.

Rules
1. Keep language and romance PG.

2. Small details in the historical story can be changed, but the outcome needs to be kept the same.

3. Only animals in the family of Canidae have evolved. In other words, You can be a fox, a dog, etc. But not a horse or lizard. (Although that would be awesome)

4. Actual characters from history (Sparticus, Crixus, etc.) aren't playable characters, although your character might interact with them.
