About this listen

The date is AD 15. The German chieftain Arminius has been defeated, one of the lost Roman eagles recovered and thousands of German tribesmen slain. Yet these successes aren't nearly enough for senior centurion Lucius Tullus. Not until Arminius is dead, his old legion's eagle found and the enemy tribes completely vanquished will he rest.

But Arminius - devious, fearless - is burning for revenge of his own. Charismatic as ever, he raises another large tribal army, which will carry the Romans the length and breadth of the land. Soon Tullus finds himself in a cauldron of bloodshed, treachery and danger. His mission to retrieve his legion's eagle will be his most perilous yet....

More Ben Kane storytelling brilliance

In the current and developing understanding of tolerance, acceptance and limited conflict around the world, it a bit of a task to sympathise with the Roman protagonist, Tullus. His actions at the German village and the overall themes of the all conquering Roman military machine make it difficult to accept the actions of soldiers on the Roman side as heroic. War is ghastly, no matter what the time period. Kane writes about it in the grittiest, fast paced way we know and appreciate.
I enjoyed it, as a piece that transports me back to a time in history that holds me in fascination.
Thoroughly recommended for historical fiction fans and anyone with an interest in classical antiquity.
