Roma Vincit!

Resumen del libro

En el verano del año 43 d.C., la invasión romana de Britania se encuentra con un obstáculo insperado: la desconcertante y salvaje manera que tienen los rudos britanos de enfrentarse a las disciplinadas tropas imperiales. La situación es deseperada y quizá la inmineete llegada del emperador Claudio para ponerse al frente de las tropas en la batalla decisiva sea el revulsivo que unos legionarios aterrados y desmoralizados necesitan.
Sin embargo, los romanos deben resolver un conflicto interno que amenaza los cimientos del imperio, pues parece que alguien está dispuesto a acabar con la vida de Claudio desde sus propias filas. Desacreditado y sospechoso de alta traición, nuestro legionario Cato deberá demostrar de nuevo que no es optio sólo gracias a sus influencias.
