Second in a series of books by Dando-Collins, this book details the "biography" of the 14th legion - the Legio XIIII Gemina Martia Victrix, as it came to be known, or as D-C often calls it, the "14th G.M.V." A facinating story of creation, defeat, and disgrace under Julius Caesar only to rise to heroic status in the British uprisings under Nero.
