Book Description

The history of ancient Rome’s fearsome Third Gallica Legion

Once again bringing the history of ancient Rome to vibrant life, author Stephen Dando-Collins continues his compelling look at the formidable fighting legions that drove Rome’s expansion. In Mark Antony’s Heroes, Dando-Collins focuses on the 3rd Gallica Legion. In 36 B.C., the fighting unit helped Mark Antony invade Media, and from A.D. 59 to 79, the Legion’s victorious battles put Vespasian on the throne. Spanning the birth of Christ, the book covers graphic battle scenes, the first meeting between Antony and Cleopatra, the Great Fire, the Jewish uprising, and the three separate times the Legion saved the life of the apostle Paul, ultimately allowing Christianity to take root in Rome.

Stephen Dando-Collins is the Australian-born author of Caesar’s Legion (0-471-68613-1), Cleopatra’s Kidnappers (0-471-71933-1), and Nero’s Killing Machine.

I wonder if the author ever eats or sleeps... :?

Never mind eating and sleeping. Does he ever read up on his research is what I want to know...

[Narukami]

Indeed! :!:

I did read his first book, on the 10th Legion, but have not ventured to swim in his pool again.

Not enough time and too many good books yet unread on my shelf.
