The Battle of Cantenna was one of the last battles of the Third Servile War, and took place in Lucania in 71 BC.[1][2]
Gannicus and Castus, the leaders of the rebellious force, were killed in battle by Roman soldiers under the command of Marcus Licinius Crassus. Crassus deployed two of his commanders: Quintus Marcius Rufus and Lucius Pomptinus and a portion of his legions to fight the rebels.[citation needed]
