Captain of Rome by John Stack
#1
From the Masters of the Sea Series, I don't know if this has been discussed before?


There is another book mentioned, Ship of Rome, which I am guessing is the first in the series.

The story centers on the Greek Captain of a Trireme in the Newly formed Classis Romanorum
Set in the Punic War, it fi=ollows theexperience of Atticus as captain of the Aquila, and is a fairly good book,
if you can over look a few inaccuracies and enjoy the story.

Anyone have any comments on this or the previous book, ([size=85:3ifyc6ws]which I will need to go get now.... :oops: [/size])

Ooh...not seen this one yet. Will have to look out for it.

Dare one ask what sort of inaccuracies there are??

Just the odd little things, and a few chronological discrepancies wit hthe major characters,(which he admits to).
i would have to go back and readthe beginning again to give you a detailed report... Smile oops:
