Centurion Blood

Ancient Rome. It is a time of war: Hannibal of Carthage has crossed the Alps and is threatening the city of Rome. The Senate is nervous, but the Roman Consul Flaminius is certain he will defeat this new menace.

The Consul's army is heading to intersect Hannibal, and he plans to cut off the great Carthaginian advance before Rome is threatened. Flaminius is confident.

Arrogant, even...

Even though Hannibal is the greatest military mind of his generation- perhaps even of all time.

Even though the army of Rome is stretched thin.

Even though his personal slave wants him dead.

CENTURION BLOOD is the story of the Battle of Lake Trasimene, during the Second Punic War; the greatest ambush of all time. It is a vivid account of the horrors of war in the ancient world, and the men that are swept up in its path.
