About this listen
Romulus and Fabiola are twins, born into slavery after their mother is raped by a drunken nobleman on his way home from a good night out. At 13 years old, they and their mother are sold: Romulus to gladiator school, Fabiola into prostitution, where she will catch the eye of one of the most powerful men in Rome, and their mother into obscurity and death in the salt mines.
Tarquinius is an Etruscan, a warrior and soothsayer, born enemy of Rome, but doomed to fight for the Republic in the Forgotten Legion.
Brennus is a Gaul; the Romans killed his entire family. He rises to become one of the most famous and feared gladiators of his day - and mentor to the boy slave, Romulus, who dreams night and day of escape and of revenge.
The lives of these four characters are bound and interwoven in a marvellous story which begins in a Rome riven by corruption, violence and political enmities, but ends far away, where Romulus, Brennus, and Tarquinius find themselves fighting against the Parthians and overwhelming odds.

Up there with best.
Move over Cornwall, Scarrow, Iggulden, Barone, Sidebottom et al, Ben Kane does it for me. Well researched, written and developed but best of all.......a great yarn.

Epic!
This book is graphic, engaging and unbelievable! The author thrusts the reader into a mailstrum of war, mystery and emotions. You learn to appreciate each character and feel as though you walk, feel and hear as they do as! This saga to me reflects a mixture of movies like spartacus/gladiator and Rome .. A true Epic!

Extra-ordinary story.
Having done some Ancient History at Uni on these areas and Rome and Alexander the Great, this story takes me back to the lecturer who more or less told the same story Ben has successfully written.
Thank you, Jenny Booth from Australia

a second go at listening
EDIT : After much cajoling from a friend i decided to listen fully to this book and now stand humbled. after finally finding his groove well into the first 1/4 of the book Michael was a joy to listen to. His female characters became more feminine and enjoyable. i have edited my review and star rating.
