Just finished Wounds of Honour, the first book of Anthony Riches' Empire series, which revolves about a Roman noble serving as a Centurion in a Roman auxiliary cohort at Hadrian's Wall (181 AD). He is serving under an alias to escape the reach of a murderous Emperor.
Lots of detail about Roman military training and organization and action-packed - the first book ends in a cliffhanger - the hero is storming a fortress in a falorn hope.
on to book two , Arrows of Fury
