Liberia's Central Bank issued a long run of foreign-history commemoratives in the late 1990s and early 2000s, largely marketed to the international collector trade rather than domestic circulation. The Spartacus revolt — the Third Servile War — lasted from 73 to 71 BC and drew an estimated 120,000 enslaved people before Crassus crushed it on the Bruttian peninsula. Pompey's legions intercepted the fleeing survivors, a fact Crassus never forgave.
Six thousand captives were crucified along the Appian Way from Capua to Rome.
