toward slaves that evolved over decades. The Third Servile War was the last servile war and Rome did not see another slave uprising of this magnitude again. In popular culture The film Spartacus (1960), which was executive-produced by and starred Kirk Douglas, was based on Howard Fast's novel Spartacus and directed by Stanley Kubrick. The film's script was written by Dalton Trumbo, who had been blacklisted during the McCarthyism period of the 1950s. The film's success contributed to the collapse of the blacklist. The phrase "I'm Spartacus!" from this film has been referenced in a number of other films, television programs, and commercials. In 2004, Fast's novel was adapted as a made-for-TV movie by the USA Network, with Goran Višnjić in the main role. One episode of 2007–2008 BBC's docudrama Heroes and Villains features Spartacus. The television series Spartacus, starring Andy Whitfield, and later Liam McIntyre, in the title role, aired on the Starz premium cable network from January 2010 to April 2013. The History Channel's Barbarians Rising (2016) features the story of Spartacus in its second episode entitled "Rebellion". The Netflix docudrama TV series Roman Empire features Spartacus as well as the Battle of the Silarius River in its 2nd season, recounting the story of Gaius Julius Caesar. The Third Servile War, and ancient slave revolts in general, play a central part in Arms of Nemesis by Steven Saylor.
