An abundance of Roman novels!

[Longovicium]

It's a great book - albeit I read it about a decade ago, so my memory is a bit cloudy now. It's a long way from an action adventure sort of thing though - more about Julian himself and the world he inhabited. About half is Julian's 'own' account of his life, interspersed with passages of discussion by two rival philosophers, Libanius and Priscus

I've written a gritty novel of the Julian invasion from the viewpoint of a new recruit... he's the dupe who ends up assassinating Julian in the midst of battle. Couldn't get a UK publisher interested, though. May try a US publisher ... its a gory and as accurate as I can possible make it

I'd buy it!
