I'm suprised no-one has mentioned "Imperial Governor" by George Shipway, a cracking good read by an ex-cavalry officer who has an eye for reality. Massive, speculative but highly entertaining is "Tros of Samothrace" by Talbot Mundy and boy would I like a copy of "Eagle in the Snow" by Wallace Breem. Some rogue borrowed mine and obviously enjoyed it so much that it never returned. There were a couple of paperbacks written in the 60's and 70's about Varus - Gregory Solon's "Three Legions was one and another of my favourites is "Sword at Sunset" by Rosemary Sutcliffe. I think that the book on Stilicho was written by either Robert Graves or Alfred Duggan.<br>
