I have only read one fictional 'novel' set during roman times. It's title Empire of the Eagle by Andre Norton/Susan Schwartz. But I think it lies more in the realm of science fiction. It was set after the great defeat at Carrhae and how a tribune named Quintus followed the captured eagles. To be my first attempt at reading a 'historical' piece I thought of this book as quite entertaining. <p></p><i></i>
