Hi guys
hope the english traslations will soon be available of these new roman army novels in Italian.
1) I fuochi dei Kelt, by Giovanni D'Alessandro, edit MONDADORI, 276 pages, Euro 17.50.
Ceasar-Vercingetorix war seen by a SLAVE of a Gaul! Notice the original and neutral viewpoint! Book describes not only horrors carried out by bad romans but also horrors by gaul warriors (torture of roman prisoners). The slave is caught in between and sees both power groups fighting out a deadly war.
2) Centurione di Augusto, by Guido Cervo, edit Narrativa Piemme, 223 pages, Euro 16.90
Story of a centurion that suvives Teutoburg! Have yet to start reading it but looking forward! Always thought the story of the hand full of survivors would have made a great story. These guys fighting/running for their lives deep in enemy territory and making their way back to safety. Of course there must have been survivors else how would Tacitus have known...
I'll write some comments as soon as I have time.
