Salvete! I'm a new member to this site and this is my first post. I'm a bit wary of what I put down because I don't really want to make a fool of myself but here we go...
I was planning to write a series of historical fictions focusing around a Centurion in Caesar's legions. The first book beggins after the siege of Alesia, following the defeat of Vercingetorix
However, I came across an article concerning the life of Cicero and I became interested when I discovered that following the civil wars he was assassinated by a Centurion named 'Herennius' so I decided that this assassin would be my main character.
But which of Caesar's legions served under Antony that also served under Caesar? If I was to have Herennius in my book, which Legion would you recommend him to serve?
This is just one of the ideas that I've had... but unfortunately I can understand how this idea corresponds with the television series 'Rome' and I don't want my book to seem like its just a spin-off...
If anyone has any other ideas for the book they would be much appreciated
Grazie, Lorenzo Perring Mattiassi
