About this listen

 Stephen Dando-Collins paints a vivid and definitive portrait of daily life in the Tenth Legion as he follows Caesar and his men along the blood-soaked fringes of the Empire. This unprecedented regimental history reveals countless previously unknown details about Roman military practices, Caesar's conduct as a commander and his relationships with officers and legionnaires, and the daily routine and discipline of the Legion.

From penetrating insights into the mind of history's greatest general to a grunt's-eye view of the gruesome realities of war in the Classical Age, this unique and riveting true account sets a new standard of excellence and detail to which all authors of ancient military history will now aspire.

Critic reviews

"Written in a readable, popular style, this book is a must for military buffs and anyone interested in Roman history at a critical point in European civilization." (T.R. Fehrenbach, author of Lone Star)

I thought this was a fantastic book. Very well researched , it explained Roman thinking and attitudes as well as pure military history. It did get a bit repetitive with battle after battle , but that’s Roman history for you. I learned a lot from this book and highly recommend it

Great listen but use of modern titles gets a bit annoying, it’s not hard to work out for the reader once the modern and ancient titles have been explained so no need to dumb down.

I wondered if this was going to be engaging. I have several other classical era histories and they are as exciting as paint drying. However this modern text about a classical period kept me engaged to the end. Definitely an eye opener to not only Roman warfare but politics too. You rapidly realise history repeats itself. I listened to Ceasers March on Rome as the Wagner mercenaries were on the road to Moscow. Yep, well worth a listen.

This book follows the 10th Legion, it’s a great listen and gives a view of life in the Legion and covers a number of battles in great detail, I highly recommend this audiobook.

A great listen one of my favourites

Amazed at the distance travelled by the Roman armies. They could have been quite successful if they had just stopped fighting each other.

Great, I would listern to this again and again.
