Reviews
An instant classic of the genre. No historian knows more about the Roman army than Adrian Goldsworthy, and no novelist better recreates the Classical World. Flavius Ferox, Briton turned Roman Centurion is a wonderful, charismatic hero. Action and authenticity combine in a thrilling and engrossing novel -- Harry Sidebottom

A well-written and authoritative novel that is always enjoyable and entertaining * For Winter Nights *

Much more accurate than the usual action fiction about legionaries and Rome... Vindolanda brings the reader closer to the true nature of Roman Britain' * New Books Magazine *
Complex and interesting, Vindolanda is definitely worth a read if you like history - and if you like your mystery with a solid dollop of action. Go Rome! * Roaring Bookworm *
Gritty and realistic... Goldsworthy's characters are authentically ancient and his descriptions of Roman Briton ring true' -- Troy Lennon, Daily Telegraph (Sidney)
Feels like an incredibly authentic view of life on the far reaches of the Roman Empire. Plenty of action and a cracking read for lovers of historical fiction or fans of Roman history * What Cathy Read Next *
