The cover attracts me to this book, as did the promise that it would appeal to fans of Conn Iggulden and Bernard Cornwell.
I haven't read any of the author's previous books about Vespasian although I did study classics at school so have a general understanding of Roman history and politics. However, I found all the different names in the prologue confusing and off-putting.
Perhaps the previous books in the series need to be read before attempting Rome's Sacred Flame?
