First of all, 'Centurion' is well written with the ability to quickly capture the reader's interest and hold it through to the last page. However, it is a war story with details of Roman military tactics and battles. so, if you like a well researched story of roman army that moves along at a pounding pace from the very beginning, this book is an excellent choice.

Centurion
Another excellent book by Simon Scarrow. This book has the added bonus of a short story 'Blood Debt' about Macro as a youth before he joined the Legion.
