About this listen
Sword of Rome: Standard Bearer is the first book in a series of novellas featuring Lucius Oppius and the campaigns of Julius Caesar.
Britain, 55 BC: Julius Caesar’s invasion of the wild and mineral-rich land is becalmed, a stalemate exists between the forces of Rome and Britain. But the standard bearer of the Tenth Legion, Lucius Oppius, is about to display a depth of courage that will change the course of the invasion - and history.
Encamped upon the south coast Caesar, admiring the courage and skill of his standard bearer, orders Oppius to accompany a native British archer and go behind enemy lines. His mission is to hunt down a treacherous Roman agent, who is recruiting Britons to fight against the armies of Rome in Gaul. Yet not all is what it seems and Oppius will fight for his life, as well as for Caesar and the glory of Rome, to complete his mission and find his way back home.
Sword of Rome: Standard Bearer brings together history and action and adventure in a story which will appeal to fans of both Simon Scarrow and Bernard Cornwell.

Somewhere between a short story and a novella in length, "Sword of Rome Standard Bearer" introduces a Roman soldier (Lucius Oppius) and his tight circle of comrades during Caesar's invasion of Britain in 55/54 BC. Exploring the possibility that Caesar's brief occupation of the southern part of the island wasn't entirely due to ego, Oppius is sent on a special mission after demonstrating bravery during the initial landing near Dover. A fun start to an interesting series.
The narrator is excellent.
A compact side story during Caesar's campaigns
