SIMON TURNEY'S THRILLING NEW ROMAN EMPIRE NOVEL AGRICOLA: COMMANDER AVAILABLE NOW!

Titus Cervianus is no ordinary soldier. And the Twenty Second is no ordinary legion.

Egypt, 25 BC. Former surgeon Titus Cervianus is now a capsarius – a Roman army combat medic. He is deeply unpopular with his legion, the Twenty Second, who are themselves unpopular with the rest of Rome's legions, due to their strange ways and roots as a private army.

The Twenty Second's latest mission is to quell dissent in Egypt. Heading into the unknown, Cervianus will need every ally he can get as he marches through searing sands, finding forbidden temples, hidden assassins, and worst of all, an enemy out of legend.

Legion XXII: The Capsarius is a thrilling Roman combat adventure perfect for fans of Ben Kane and Simon Scarrow.
