PRIMA LANCA - 2nd Edition

Roman war against barbarians under Julius Caesar

Unleash the Roman Legionary Within: An Epic Historical Saga Awaits!

Journey back to the brutal frontiers of Roman Germania, a land where empires clash and legends are forged. PRIMA LANCA invites you to an unforgettable adventure, steeped in historical detail and heart-pounding action, crafted for readers who devour the gritty sagas of Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden.

Meet Flavius Castus, a shrewd decurio of the indomitable 13th Legio Macedonica. His mission: to scout the untamed Germanic lands. But when his Roman platoon gets lost from the main Legion, deep within the dark, treacherous forests of the North, they find themselves thrust into an odyssey of survival. To escape relentless barbarian pursuit, they must venture beyond the known maps, pushing ever deeper into the mysterious and still-unknown Saxonia. This is no mere military campaign, but a raw, visceral narrative of epic adventure experienced by Legionaries on the very edge of the Roman world, forced to become pioneers against their will.

Their courage, loyalty, and very hearts will be tested not only by fierce warriors and the unforgiving forces of nature but also by the complex tapestry of human relations with the various tribes they encounter: Saxons, Jutes, Frisians, and Sveas. Every decision carries the weight of life and death, shaping their destiny and the fate of those they meet. And their perilous journey is not isolated; it is inextricably intertwined with the grand ambitions of none other than Julius Caesar himself, and his formidable right-hand man, Mark Antony. These iconic figures play active roles, their monumental decisions rippling through the lives of every Legionary and every tribe on the edge of the known world, ultimately shaping Rome’s destiny. Discover how the seemingly isolated actions of a lost patrol can alter the course of an empire.

In this masterfully refined 2nd Edition, immerse yourself in a narrative delivered with unparalleled linguistic polish and an authentic voice. Every page has been meticulously crafted to offer a seamless, captivating reading experience in native English, ensuring that the epic scope and intricate details transport you directly into the heart of Roman Germania.
