Plebeians in the Roman Republic weren't playing around! In this episode we cover the first Secessio Plebis when the citizens of Rome abandoned the city in a general strike to get what they wanted. We also talk about the Servile Wars: the series of armed rebellions of enslaved workers in Rome that had the army scrambling. From that city-wide walk out, to fire-breathing magicians, to Spartacus, there's a whole lot to unpack!
