New site look, new competition!

9 December 2011 by Ben Kane 18 Comments

OK, this week I’ve got 3 signed books to give away to celebrate the new look on the website. There’s one copy of the new paperback of Hannibal: Enemy of Rome, one large format paperback of Spartacus: The Gladiator, and one hardback of same. Another simple question: who was the man to defeat Spartacus militarily? It wasn’t Pompey. Answers to me here on the site, by email, on Twitter or Facebook by 5 p.m UK time on Monday the 12th. Good luck!

    Hi Ben, I believe Crassus was responsible for defeating Spartacus. Really looking forward to reading this. Hanibal was a cracking read, got through it in two days!.

    @cereza671: posting it on the threads was fine – just too late! Sorry you didn’t win. There will be more competitions in the next few weeks, so keep your eyes peeled.
    And well done again on getting your poem into a to-be-published book! Very exciting!

    Hey Ben, i think it was Crassus ๐Ÿ™‚ (Maybe)… really looking forword to Spartacus but it’ll have to be something pretty wild to compete with Hannibal ‘kudos’. Also are you coming to the Birmingham area anytime soon?

    @Kimmii: Thanks – glad you liked Hannibal so much. No book signings on for the Birmingham area yet, but keep an eye out on the events page… Happy New Year!

    @carillion72: right answer, but about 2 weeks too late! There’ll be another competition very soon, however, with signed books, a Roman silver coin and more goodies. Keep an eye on the blog, and good luck!
