The 14th Gemina Martia Victrix Legion was the most celebrated unit
of the early Roman Empire-a force that had been wiped out under
Julius Caesar, reformed, and almost wiped out again. After
participating in the a.d. 43 invasion of Britain, the 14th Legion
achieved its greatest glory when it put down the famous rebellion
of the Britons under Boudicca. Numbering less than 10,000 men, the
disciplined Roman killing machine defeated 230,000 rampaging
rebels, slaughtering 80,000 with only 400 Roman losses-an
accomplishment that led the emperor Nero to honor the legion with
the title "Conqueror of Britain." In this gripping book, second in
the author's definitive histories of the legions of ancient Rome,
Stephen Dando-Collins brings the 14th Legion to life, offering
military history aficionados a unique soldier's-eye view of their
tactics, campaigns, and battles.
