Invictus

If you don't know Simon Scarrow, you don't know Rome! The Sunday Times bestseller, Invictus, is a gripping, authentic, and exciting novel of the Roman army from bestselling author Simon Scarrow.

The soldiers of the Roman army patrol a growing Empire, from the Mediterranean to the North Sea, from the Atlantic to the banks of the Nile. Rome brutally enforces its rule, and its legions are the most efficient and aggressive fighting force in the world. Two battle-scarred veterans of this army, Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro, have survived years of campaigning in Britannia and have been recalled to Rome. Their time in the teeming, dangerously political city is short, and soon they are traveling with the Praetorian Guard to Spain, a restless colony where simmering tension in the face of Roman rule is aggravated by.
