Harry Sidebottom, Warrior of Rome: Fire in the East Pt. 1

[Caballo]

Just finished the book (lent me by Celer) ,and really enjoyed it. Don't be put off by the cover, which seems to be a bid to get the maximum number of inauthentic articles of armour and weapons, worn in the wrong way, in the wrong place of any Roman book. (Presumably a perverse publisher's bet of some kind...)

But the writing and research is really excellent- recommended. I'll be buying the next books (unless of course, Celer buys them first!)

Cheers

PS Derek, what is the source for "Quod imperatum fuerit facimus et ad omnem tesseram parati erimus" ("We will do what is ordered and at every command we shall be ready")?
