The Forgotten Legion
Ben Kane's Forgotten Legion trilogy is a wonderful read for fans of action and historical detail alike. The protagonist, Marcus, goes from mistreated slave to gladiator to (eventually) a legionary soldier. His companions, Brennus the Gaul, the Eutruscan Tarquinius and Marcus's sister, Fabiola all have different perspectives on the "standard novelised Roman world view," and Kane wastes no opportunity to enrich the canvas of life and attitudes in ancient times. Bloody battles abound, but these are tempered with wonderful insights into times gone by, Ben Kane is clearly a brilliant novelist and masterful historian, These books really do have something for everyone interested in the ancient world.
