The War of Creticus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783950626124)

Crete, 69 BC. Rome has come for the last free island in the Mediterranean, and at the head of its legions marches Quintus Caecilius Metellus - a general about to earn, by conquest, the name Creticus.

In the heart of Gortyna stands something older than Rome's ambition: a wall of law carved in stone, open to every citizen, granting rights Rome itself has never dared to write down.

As the siege tightens, one question outlives the war - can a people be conquered if their law refuses to fall?

Empire, resistance, and the stubborn power of the written word.
