"It Was A Long Journey...............................Traveling At A Speed ..............................Thats Even Faster Than Light.........................................................................................................................................................................
I Know...You Humans On Earth?......................Although Albert Einstein................................ Says It Cant Be Done
Are A Long Long Way Off.... Of Discovering That.... There Is A Speed Thats Faster Than The Speed of Light
But Thats Your Problem
I Have to Deal With What I Have In Front Of Me
I Have Landed Here.. In A Land...That You Humans Today Call..Italy
And The Year Is... According To My...................... "Travel Time Measuring Device".....72 Bc"
And it Seems............. That My Landing?................ Has Left Me............. Some 736 Miles................ South Of My Intentional Target...Who Is In The Northern Part Of Present Day Italy
Way Back Then...Some Called The Peninsula......... Italia
"Italia".... Was Given To.... "Aeneas Of Troy"............. By................. "Jupiter"
And... "Aeneas Of Troy...And His Descendants.....Eventually...Were The Early Founders Of........... "Rome"
"As I Was On My Way Traveling Back Through Time?"
I Began To Wonder....................................After Your Initial Breakout...In 72 BC............. With Just 70 Followers
Your Backers Swelled to 70,000...At The Paramount Of Your Following
You Defeated 1 Army That Was Sent...(But They Were Of The Thinking...... That They Would Breeze Right Through You)....(To Them?...It Was More A Policing Matter)...."BIG a** MISTAKE!"...After All...They Were The Mightiest Of Them All............. At That Present Time
After All....In Their Thinking?...They Had You Bottled Up In Your Encampoment On Mount Vesuvius
But...That Policing Army?.......... Was Destroyed
(They Never Expected You....... To Climb Down Mount Vesuvius...On The Impossible Side)
And Completely By Surprise?...Be Routed...And Slaughtered To The Last Man
And The Second Wave That They Sent...Consisting Of Double The Amount That They Had Sent Initially?
Met The Same Fate...Being Nearly Wiped Out
Then...In Late Spring Of 72 BC...You Broke Out............... And Headed North
Raiding Towns And Villages...Getting More Supplies And Weapons As You Advanced
It Was At This Moment........ That Rome Sent 2 Legions...(Some 10,000 Men) To Finally Put And End To This Fiasco.............But.....A Break Away Group Of Spartacus' Army..(30,000 Men).Commanded By Crixus..Near Mount Garganus?
.Met Romes 2 Legions Sent Against Them...And Were Utterly Destroyed By These Professional Battle Tested Romans..................But..It Became A Totally Different Story ......When These 2 Legions Met Spartacus
They Were .....Without A Doubt....Soundly Defeated By Spartacus' Armies
At This Point?....They Were Going To Block Spartacus' Escape To Freedom In The North?.....So Rome Sent... Some 40,000 Battle Hardened Men
And These 40,000 Men?....Were Routed By Spartacus.....With Most Of The Romans.......... Being Killed
And Now.... What Was It .....That Stood Before Spartacus.... And His Followers?
Just A Mountain Range Called..The Alps...There Was Nothing Left To Stop Them Now
All That They Had To Do............. Was To Cross The Alps........And Into........ Freedom
(I Dont Have Much Time... As I Keep Getting Closer To The Armies Of Spartacus)
(Encamped In The Far North...Where A Debate Is In The Making.... As Of This Moment)
(My Superiors Are Watching....And?............"They Are Expecting Me...........To Succeed"
