Thanks, Tristan.

It's always great fun.

Well, there you go.

There was Dr. Ben Kane talking you through the story of Spartacus, one of the most famous rebels of ancient Rome.

I hope you enjoyed the episode.

Now, if you want to listen to more of Ben, well, you can.

He's been on the show several times before.

Our latest episode with him before this one was all about the Roman centurion.

But Ben, he's also done episodes before on the Roman legionary soldier, the Roman auxiliary soldier, and how to survive in ancient Rome.

We'll put a link to several of those episodes in the show notes.
