Legion:
A Novel of the Army of Rome
by William Altimari
Recommended by our members: "Wow, what a read. A very well
researched and written story of the Roman legion. Quintus Falvius
Rufio is the ultimate centurion at Aquabona who is given a voluntary
recruit/Greek Dioceles. Through their eyes we learn how Rome became
great and still is. Not short on detail nor valor as they fight
for Rome, protecting their ally- the Gauls, from the Seubi tribes
of Germans. After reading it, I want to be a part of The Legion."

An

by David Matz
Recommended by our members: "One of the appendices (D) is
perhaps the most interesting part of the entire work and is entitled:
"Select Chronology of Omens Seen in Rome and Italy." Nothing
spices up a lagging meal-time conversation as a reference to the
time that Livy reported that 'the gold stored in a temple of Jupiter
had been damaged by mice' or when "at Lavinium the statue of
Juno Sospita wept..." ~James
