He then sets off on a quest to find the Eagle that was lost when his father's legion was lost, 20 years ago north of the wall. He acquires a slave, a Briton called Esca, from the circus after not wanting to see him die needlessly.
From there he is discharged and has to find something else to do. He arrives at Exeter all full of hope and ends up breaking a chariot charge and his leg all in one moment. Marcus is the son of a soldiering family from Italy and now has his first command of a roam legion. 1) the ninth legion marched north and never returned2) an eagle in a museum that had lost its wings.This is a story that uses those two facts as a jumping off point for what amounts to a mixture of adventure story and morality tale.
But I have absolutely no recollection of having done so! This is history as fiction, told based on 2 probably entirely unrelated events. I have owned this since I was a teenager and, judging from the sate of the book, must have read it before.
