      AD 59: Rome's grip on Britain is weakening. Roman cruelty and exploitation has angered their British subjects; the Druids are on the rise; the warrior queen Boudicca will lead the tribes to war.

      The Roman Tribune, Gaius Valerius Verrens must lead the veteran legions at Colonia in a last stand against the rising tide of rebellion and the unstoppable horde of Boudicca's rebel army.

      Can he defend his honour and the Empire he represents?

      Hero of Rome is the first in Douglas Jackson's       Gaius Valerius Verrens series. His story continues in Defender of Rome.
