What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

Story set in Ancient Roman times

Story is set in Time when they had masters and slaves.the masters kill any of their child born with deformity.the hero is a masters baby born with a limp , so he is left in forest to die where he is rescued by a slave n raised .when he grows up he leads a revolution and frees the slaves. I remember he leads the slaves to some kind of mountain top in the end and I think they settle there

I read this about 4 -5 years back.

Novel, short story? Paper book, ebook, other format? Standalone or part of a series? Cover art/design? Author male or female?

Author Conn Iggulden for Meow's suggestion.

No, I looked up this authors all books, none of them matches. The one I am looking for was just a story about the hero and how he frees the slaves, no known characters like Caesar or Genghis , no details about the internal politics among masters.i remember the the book having details about how the boy grew up, his life as a farmers son etc.Thanks for reply though.

It was definitely a novel. I read it as an paperback.it seemed like a standalone , but I could be wrong.i don't remember anything about cover art/ author

This sounds like a story about Spartacus. I have no idea about the book itself, but maybe that can be a clue?

Yes, I looked up novel about Spartacus and it looks similar. But the one I am looking for has a hero born with a limp and is raised as a farm/ village boy instead of a soldier. Thank you.

A guess - Legionary by Gordon Doherty?

There, did you check out Kris's suggestion @9?

I'm wagering it's Spartan by Valerio Massimo Manfredi
