What to expect
Praise for Guy de la Bédoyère's Gladius
'Gladius makes for a richly researched, detailed and plausible portrait, warts and all, bang up to date with the latest archaeological finds, and a highly enjoyable read throughout' Christopher Hart, Sunday Times
'A remarkably precise picture of life in the Roman army - how the men were armed and billeted, what they ate, drank, wore, how they were promoted or punished, how they built their great, straight roads, what they did for sexual relief' Daily Telegraph

Critics Review
-
A superb combination of wit, first-rate research and panache. Highly recommended!
Tony Robinson -
[A] rollicking new book… Drawing on letters, inscriptions, plays, poems, architecture, coinage and the preserved contents of Herculaneum’s sewers, de la Bédoyère sets out to reconstruct how people of all stations lived… De la Bédoyère’s command of these disparate sources is masterful, and his curation of them forms the backbone of the book
