Thunder of the Gods

The eastern frontier of the Roman Empire. Marcus Valerius Aquila rejoins the Tungrians as Rome’s conflict with Parthian power draws the regiment away from the familiar Rhine and British frontiers into a different military world.

Campaigning in the East tests the regiment against heat, distance and enemies whose methods do not resemble the tribal warfare they know. Marcus must serve Rome abroad while the private threat from Commodus’s regime remains unresolved behind him.
