Publisher's summary

From the creator of the Marching With Caesar series comes The Tenth-Volume I, the story of the men who stood with Titus Pullus and his childhood friend Vibius Domitius through a period that saw the most intense period of combat in Roman history. From the slums of Corduba and Nova Carthago, the farms of Hispania, and even the city of Rome, eight young men enlist in the new Xth Legion along with Titus Pullus and Vibius Domitius, raised by the new governor of Hispania, Gaius Julius Caesar.

Each of them have their own motivation for joining, their own secrets to keep from their new comrades...and their own goals and ambitions that will create rivalries and disputes that will challenge the bonds formed over the course of their time under the standard. This disparate yet complementary group will become the Tenth Section of the First Century of the Second Cohort that readers were first introduced to in Marching With Caesar.

Thrown together, they will be subjected to the harshest training regimen in the ancient world, and in this crucible, they will be transformed from ten individuals into one tent section, the smallest subunit of the Roman Legion, before being thrown almost immediately into combat as Caesar leads his newly formed Legion in a campaign against rebelling tribes.

The Tenth-Volume I tells the unique and individual stories of their enlistment, training, and their introduction to the other men who will become a “band of brothers” that fighting men of any age would recognize and relate to
