The two boys are taken to Rome as "guests" of the emperor, who leaves them in the care of Marco Tulio Tauro, the surly, intelligent centurion who captured them.
Years later, the young men have become Arminio and Flavus, two expert soldiers trained by Tauro, and Roman citizens respected by all who have learned to earn the trust of the emperor himself, whose succession has unleashed internal family struggles.
Perfectly combining epic narrative and historical accuracy, novelist Valerio Massimo Manfredi immerses us in the extraordinary story of two brothers who end up fighting on opposite sides at the battle of Teutoburg Forest, Rome's first great defeat.
