About the Author

BEN KANE

‘History is more than facts on a page. It’s the sounds, the smells, the people, the passion. History should make you think: “I was there”. My books are born from my obsession with Roman history. I’ve followed Spartacus’s trail across Italy. I’ve stood at Cannae and pictured Hannibal’s army meeting the massed legions of Rome.

Immerse yourself in these incredible stories and – like me – remind yourself why the legend of Rome endures.’
