About this listen
Through sacrifice a fighter is born.
When poverty strikes, an ageing farmer is forced to make a heartbreaking choice: relinquish his oldest son in the hope of appeasing the gods or see his family face certain starvation. And so it follows that young Lucius Ulpia Porcianus is sacrificed to Rome.
Embarking on his new life, Lucius travels to Ancona to enlist in the legion. Accepted into the army of Pompey, the young recruit soon finds himself engulfed in the civil war between Sulla and the Marians. As a callow youth, torn from the land of Picenum, can Lucius put his days as a pig farmer behind him and embrace life as a legionary? Or will the brutality of war seal his fate?
The first tale in the captivating Roman Rebellion series by Griff Hosker.

I enjoy Hosker books usually as they’re not too complicated and the characters develop. Here the weapons are unknown. The characters emerge briefly and there’s not much interaction with the home of the main character. Lots of really detailed descriptions of how enemies died.
Usually, snap up Hosker books and can’t wait for the next ones. Have gone back to re-listen to the English medieval stories again as I can’t find anything else I like in all the historical fiction audiobooks.
Complicated as history unknown
