Quote:Harry Turtledove has plenty of Romano-Byzantine fantasy... his series of novels set in Videssos, an alternate-world Byzantium. And an early imperial legion shows up in one set.Definitely one of my favorite authors and favorite series. The fact that he has a doctorate is evident in the quality of his writing. (Well, not to suggest that all "doctors" are gifted writers... but his detailed knowledge clearly shines through.)
