I was reading the past entries on this thread and noticed your old question. The book you are looking for is Eagle in the Snow by Wallace Breem. I found it a good story. Though military details are incorrect for the period and I had a hard time believing that an officer who was a junior leader in 360 AD would be still around commanding a legion in 504 AD I still liked the story very much. One of those, military men of honor struggling to hold back the coming darkness, professionally, effectively and inspiring his men to follow him. <p></p><i></i>
