The Centurion of Caesar
A world at war. A Republic in its death throes. A general on the path to immortality.
From the blood-soaked fields of Gaul to the burning streets of Alexandria, from the triumphs of Rome to the treachery of the Senate, The Centurion of Caesar is an unrelenting epic of conquest, loyalty, and the brutal forging of an empire.
Told through the eyes of Flavius, a hardened centurion of Caesar’s Thirteenth Legion, this novel brings to life the violent struggle that reshaped history.
Through battle and bloodshed, he marches at the side of the greatest general the world has ever known—Gaius Julius Caesar. Together, they face the wrath of rebellious Gauls, the legions of Pompey Magnus, and the treachery of those who called themselves Romans. Victory follows them like a shadow, but so does betrayal.
For those who crave epic battles, ruthless strategy, and the clash of empires, this is historical fiction at its most brutal, its most gripping, its most unforgettable.

I went into this wanting a common soldiers pov of the times of Caesar’s wars which the book delivers to some extent but largely misses the mark.
This is written like a man who knows a lot about Rome but only through second hand knowledge. It’s strange some things mentioned seem obscure enough to make you think the author did his research then other things are so laughably wrong the book essentially becomes a fantasy novel. For someone who knows Roman history the inaccuracies can be overlooked in favour of a more entertaining story but for those unaware it’s just spreading misinformation like the “Roman salute” or the idea Caesar only had one legion by the time he was crossing the rubicon.
Another issue is the repetition. Ideas are restated for no apparent reason and the metaphors are overused.
It paced far too quickly also. Major historical moments come and go in the blink of an eye and hours long battles take up a page or two at most.
It would have been better if a beta reader educated in Roman history was used to reel in some of the wilder parts. Obviously the author has creative licence but the real history is so interesting and engaging that I don’t understand why you would feel the need to rewrite it.
