Most historically accurate Roman Army novels?
#7
Simmon Scarrow is TERRIBLE!!! All of his dialogue is modern, stolen from popularized Hollywood movies. Scarrow doesn't even come close to exploring the actual culture of Rome or the Legions, giving the book a very shallow sense of the period he's writing in. You could transplant the two main characters into any period and they would fit because of this.

I would recommend Colleen McCullough, and "The Masters of Rome" series.
