"Thrilling, authentic and action-packed, 'Wounds of Honour' is the story of a fighting man in the ancient world's toughest and most successful army". Marcus Valerius has scarcely landed in Britannia when he has to run for his life - condemned to dishonourable death by power-crazed Emperor Commodus. Desperate, the Praetorian Guard officer agrees to take a new name, serve in an obscure regiment on Hadrian's Wall and lie low until he can hope for justice. Then a rebel army sweeps down from the wastes north of the Wall, and Marcus has to prove he's hard enough to lead a century in the front line of a brutal war with a merciless enemy. Bringing together years of fascinated research into the campaigns, customs and ceremonies of the Roman army, Anthony Riches shows us what life was really like for the humblest soldiers, the generals who led them and the enemies who gave them no quarter.…

Marcus Valerius Aquila has scarcely landed in Britannia when he has to run for his life - condemned to dishonorable death by power-crazed Emperor Commodus. The plan is to take a new name, serve in an obscure regiment on Hadrian's Wall and lie low until he can hope for justice. Then a rebel army sweeps down from the wastes north of the Wall, and Marcus has to prove he's hard enough to lead a century in the front line of a brutal, violent war.
