Third Servile War

[Mike Harding]

Hi All, Really appreciate the assistance given in the past I was just looking for a translation for the name of this war into Classical Latin, and Also "All who draw breath are of equal worth", also into classical.


Thank you

For the first: it looks like Florus has Bellum Spartacium.

Thanks, If anyone could second this I would greatly appreciate it as it is crucially important

That works. This literally means "the war of Spartacus". More literally would be tertium bellum servile, though I haven't checked to see if such a phrase is used. But I think I've seen things like tertium bellum Macedonicum.

'bellum servile' occurs in Eutropius (as you probably remember - there's a clue to where I'm at in The Neverending Book) and there is a Vicipaedia article entitled 'Tertium Bellum Servile'.
