He compiled, chiefly from Livy, a brief sketch of the history of Rome from the foundation of the city to the closing of the temple of Janus by Augustus (25 BC).
In the manuscripts the writer is variously given as Julius Florus, Lucius Anneus Florus, or simply Annaeus Florus.

 Informat.io on Third Servile War
Appian and Florus write that the latter group intended to march on Rome itself (a goal later abandoned), while Plutarch writes that this second group merely wished to escape northwards into Cisalpine Gaul and disperse back to their homes.
Despite the Hollywood depiction of their motives in the movie Spartacus, no historical account mentions that at any time was it a goal of the rebel slaves to end slavery in the Roman republic, nor to free all slaves.
Florus records that there were some attempts at raft and shipbuilding by the rebels, as a means to escape, but this was eventually abandoned.
