Caesar’s Legion: The Epic Saga of Julius Caesar’s Elite Tenth Legion and the Armies of Rome Audiobook

" This book is so well written and fascinating that I thoroughly enjoyed it even though I don't care for military histories. "

" Caesar's legion conqering the world and kicking ass. Need I say more "

" Absolutely fantastic read on the day-to-day of the average Roman legionnaire. Incredibly detailed look at how they were raised, trained, paid and eventually retired. "

" somewhat disappointed - the book blurb says it's a definitive portrait of daily life in the Tenth Legion - Ceasar's legion. But it's more of a general history of names and dates and battles. Would have liked to have seen more details of the actual men. "

" One of my go to books to understand the legions. "

" Excellent history of one of Rome's most famous legions. The lives lived by a legionare were filled with discipline, boredom, terror, anger, frustration; much like any soldier in any other era. "

" I listened to the audio book, but the print stares at me from my shelves. "

" Less information as i thought "

" What can I say but awesome. I couldn't put it down "

" Part of a series. see my review for Cleopatra's Kidnappers for my impressions on all four books. "

" While I agree with other reviewers that the speculative history presented here is a bit shaky, it's still a masterfully told tale of an elite Roman legion during the "glory years" of the Empire. "

" This had me on the edge of my seat. Wonderful suspense filled epic. "

" Great book for any HBO Rome lovers. This is the more historically accurate story. Long live the 10th! "

" This book convinced me to use the 10th Legion in my own story. "

" Worth reading, though the writing needs an uptick in quality. A nice bit of history to learn by reading this book. "

" This is the greatest book I have ever read. "

" For someone like me who learned about Romans through reading fiction, this book is invaluable. It is an easy read, with a nice mix of information and some humor. "

" The focus is on the 10th legion, but many of the other legions and generals are also mentioned throughout the book. A lot of historical sources have been used to write this book and the author has done a good job of pulling it all together. "

" Military histories of specific units (unit histories) can get pretty "inside baseball" pretty quick. This book is no exception. Still, it's well worth the read. "

" Badass book about Caesar's baddest-ass soldiers, who stuck it out and slogged through Europe and later Italy and Macedonian during the Civil War with Pompey. Read most of it at the book store, was that engrossing. Of course, I'm a sap for books about Ancient Warfare. "

" Great read about what was probably the most famous of Ceasars legions. "

" If you're a fan of ancient Rome, this is a must-read. Simply amazing what Julius Caesar and his legions accomplished. Those were unbelievably tough SOBs. "

" A good, good nonfiction read. "

" it was really really good "
