博客來AD 40. Roman naval officer Marcus Fronto
and his colleagues are progressing overland
to unknown territory somewhere near modern Chester.
They are conducting a survey and informal reconnaissance
with the secondary objectives of cultivating local chieftains
and identifying strategic mineral deposits.
It is an unknown, largely undifferentiated, land.
So sailorly skills come in very handy.
The British tribes are at war,
are divided in their attitude to Rome,
and besides these many unexpected perils confront
Marcus and his shipmates.
Not to worry, ... Caligula has their back...
