Description

AD 98: Vindolanda A gripping and authentic novel set in Roman Britain, Vindolanda is a story of survival and courage in a tumultuous time. The year is 98, and the Roman fort of Vindolanda lies on the northern frontier of Britannia, a hub of activity as the Roman world expands. But with the Emperor Hadrian's famous wall yet to be built, the defences are weak, and the tribes rebel against Rome. It is against this backdrop that Flavius Ferox, a Briton and Roman centurion, must navigate the complexities of life in Roman Britain. As the fragile peace between the Romans and the native tribes is tested, Ferox must confront the challenges of his own identity and the harsh realities of life in a rapidly changing world. With its rich historical context and gripping narrative, Vindolanda is a thrilling and engrossing novel that brings the Roman world to life.
