The main character starts as an officer on Hadrians Wall in the 360's and the main story is about his efforts as commander of Legio XX to hold back the barbarian cross-Rhine invasion in December of 406.<br>

It was the only flaw that bothered me about the book. He would have to be a very old legate probably in his 60's by the time of those battles.<br>
<br>
The author invents his own organization for the legion. Otherwise it is one of the best books of the genre and I highly recommend it. <p></p><i></i>
