This is an intriguing, interestingly described tale of a young Roman Tribune who proved himself to be a foremost charioteer, with his team of snow white horses, winning accolades and especially that of the Championship in the Coliseum. Petros decides then to journey to England with his future wife and travels to various areas in the south and west with his Legion. This takes the reader into a realistic and cleverly described world of historic Roman times. From the Roman family itself to the Druids he meets, all are believable characters. Whilst Rome is filled with treachery, the innocence and peaceful life of the Romans living in England is in sharp contrast and their lives, vividly described, are rich with simple pleasures and achievements. The Author has so well researched the facts that he describes how Londinium then appeared under Roman rule and how the people lived there. Petros excels in every difficult deed he attempts and is chosen for outstanding wisdom, coupled with the bravery which ensures his progress before the Romans left our shores.

About the Author:

The author is fascinated by the early civilisations and how they were created, additionally by the way that some civilisations have persecuted the beliefs of others, often causing unjust persecution and genocide. His story of mankind's domination of the world often depicts the inadequacies of this form of control, which so often causes hardship and cruelty. He realises that it is very difficult to suggest an amicable compromise, but sincerely believes that we may one day achieve a realistic goal that allows different beliefs to exist in harmony
