    About this audiobook

    A classic story brought to life through Jim Weiss's thrilling, thoughtfully and gently abridged narration. Beric, a dashing young British chieftain, must fight for liberty from the forests of his homeland, where he defies the legendary Roman legions, to the Roman Colosseum, where he must employ gladiatorial skills to defend a persecuted Christian girl. G.A. Henty provides fascinating details of life in a Roman villa, in the imperial palace, and in the villages of the tribal Britons; and accurately shows the strengths that allowed the Romans to conquer their empire and the weaknesses that would end it. Set in A.D. 62.
