Synopsis
Roman legionaries battle zombies raised from the grave by an ancient Druidic curse.
A recovered Latin text tells the story of a struggle between Roman legionaries and the undead in 185 AD.
Lucius Artorius Castus leads an expedition to Gaul to defeat a rebellion against the rule of the Emperor Commodus - and gets more than he bargained for when his enemies rise from the dead to fight again. The power of the zombie horde is amplified by the chaos of Ancient Rome's competing religions and superstitions, and the terror the undead bring in their wake foreshadows the incipient medieval darkness already creeping into the world at the end of Rome's Antonine age.
Richly annotated, this mashup of survival horror and alternate history takes the reader on a bracing journey into one of ancient Rome's dark corners.

"Thomas Brookside has crafted a nice addition to the zombie genre." --Author Eric Mays
