Professor Maria Wyke (UCL Greek & Latin) discusses the life of Spartacus, the gladiator who led a major slave rebellion against the Roman Republic in the 1st century BC.
He was an accomplished military leader, and the campaign he led contributed significantly to the instability of the Roman state in this period. Spartacus was celebrated by some ancient historians and reviled by others, and became a hero to revolutionaries in 19th-century Europe.

The British are famous for conversations about the weather, and this winter there has been much to talk about. The United Kingdom’s December–February rainfall was the highest since records began in 1910. Tracts of southern England have been flooded for weeks. The army has been deployed to build flood defences. Once again, climate change has floated to the top of the UK political agenda.
Extreme weather tends to do that — a similar dynamic has been seen across the world. After Hurricane Sandy hit the United States in 2012, climate change became a presidential election issue. In Australia, floods, droughts and heatwaves have pushed the topic in a way that reports from climate scientists could not. As a scientist who has been on the wrong end of climate change misreporting, this surge of interest begs the question: has the often dysfunctional relationship between science and the media improved this time around?
