Jack Whyte\'s series

[richsc]

I've just started "Skystone", Jack Whyte's first on the end of the Roman Empire in Britain. The book is designed as one of a series leading up to some explanation of the basis for the Arthurian legend.<br>
Has anyone read these who can comment on its accuracy of the Roman army in this time?<br>

started it and never finished. Hated it. He's got the army all wrong. He's assuming the army hadn't changed since the Principate and missed out on Severus' and Diocletian's reforms.<br>

Thanks. I note also he calls centurions 'senior sergeants', among other things. The book was not bad but it is obviously designed/contracted to run into many volumes, rather like all those fantasy 'novels' and will never get to the point. <p>Aulus<br>
