Download Cleopatra's Kidnappers: How Caesar's Sixth Legion Gave Egypt to Rome and Rome to Caesar AudioBook Free
A powerful story of war, romance, and one of history's most needy gambles. Julius Caesar was nothing if not strong. When, in the wake of his defeat of Pompey at Pharsalus his victorious legions refused to march another step under his order, he pursued his fleeing competitor into Egypt with an impossibly small drive of Gallic and German cavalry, raw Italian recruits, and nine hundred Spanish prisoners of warfare - hard veterans of Pompey's 6th Legion. Cleopatra's Kidnappers says the epic saga of Caesar's journeys in Egypt through the eye of the captured, but never defeated, legionaries. Within this third volume in his definitive background of the Roman legions, Stephen Dando-Collins discloses how this small band of brutal warriors led Caesar's little military to great victories against impossible probabilities. Bristling with action and filled with insights and newly discovered facts, this eye-opening accounts introduces you to the remarkable men who made possible Caesar's famous boast, "I emerged, I noticed, I conquered."
