Of all the armies that have marched through the pages of history, few have captured the imagination as fully as the Legions of Rome. History echoes with the deeds of the mighty Roman Legions, but that hard won glory would never have been possible without the extraordinary skill and courage of the individual Legionaries themselves. Just what kind of man did it take to serve and fight in an army capable of holding most of the known world under the control of the Caesars? Marcus Sulpicius Vepitta was one such man. Meticulously researched and drawing heavily on the work of both classical writers and modern scholars, Legionary is his story. This is not a tale of a man rising to fame and riches, just an ordinary young recruit as he submits to the iron discipline of the XIIII Gemina Legion. Proudly claiming his place in its ranks as it joins a huge army gathering in Gaul to seize the distant land of Britannia for the Emperor Claudius. This book invites the reader to suspend disbelief and step back two thousand years in time to enter Vepitta's world. A world very different from our own, where modern sensibilities and morality have no place and a conscience is something that very few can enjoy as the mighty Roman Legions engage the native Britons in ferocious battles for control of Rome's newest province.
