Beautifully hand decorated in the authentic colours of the era by the skilful artists at Studio Ann Carlton, this superb chess set exactly captures the period in history between 73 BC and 71 BC, when the oppressed slaves, led by Spartacus, rose in revolt against their Roman masters. Spartacus was a gladiator of Thracian descent (modern day Bulgaria/Macedonia) and had probably been captured by the Romans whilst defending his country. This wonderfully detailed chess set is shown here on chess board reference H401. (Board not included)
