About this listen

Stephen Dando-Collins paints a vivid and definitive portrait of daily life in the Tenth Legion as he follows Caesar and his men along the blood-soaked fringes of the Empire. This unprecedented regimental history reveals countless previously unknown details about Roman military practices, Caesar's conduct as a commander and his relationships with officers and legionnaires, and the daily routine and discipline of the Legion.

From penetrating insights into the mind of history's greatest general to a grunt's-eye view of the gruesome realities of war in the Classical Age, this unique and riveting true account sets a new standard of excellence and detail to which all authors of ancient military history will now aspire.

One of my favs so far

The story was amazing. The imagery and the writing made me see it in my mind as the saga of the 10th Legion was told. Totally recommend!!!

Amazing for history buffs

If you want to be amazed and enthralled by the stories that have made it through the winding roads of history - this book is for you. Focussed on the 10th Legion, Caesar’s own - we hear it’s history and that of the ancient world, with vivid detail. An enjoyable listen.

Worth a credit

I feel this book gives a good overview of the exploits of Cesar and his lwgions, I just wish it went into more detail.

History

it's not historically accurate, but close enough too make people think it is. Titus Labienus defected to pompey alone not with 3000 calvary. stuff like that throughout the book.
