I read a novel about the Spartacus slave revolt, at one point it's a plot point that the Roman Army tracking Spartacus are having issues with disease & lack of supplies. Is it realistic that could be an issue for an army in the Apennines, I mean they're pretty close to the core of the Roman empire?
