Description
In 454 AD, the Roman Empire's grip on Northern Italy begins to slip. Dux Ambrosius Aurelianus, once a trusted servant of the empire, finds himself at the mercy of his former master Flavius Aetius. But when old enemies seize their chance to destroy him, Ambrosius is forced to flee with a small band of loyal soldiers and a Saxon girl named Inga. As they journey north across the crumbling ruins of the empire, Ambrosius faces new challenges in Gaul, where his hometown is under siege by rebellious Franks. With freedom and peace seeming a distant memory, Ambrosius must summon all his strength and skill to survive. The fate of the Roman Empire hangs in the balance, and he may be the last of its kind. The Last of the Romans is a gripping tale of survival and loyalty set against the backdrop of a crumbling empire.
