About this ebook
Timius Arbutus is the son of a Roman Legionnaire. Human
frailty of others leaves its mark on him in his formative years.
At an early age he is taken to a Roman institution
equivalent to a boarding school where he remains until his
teens.
On leaving the institution he has to fi nd work and eventually
decides to follow in his fathers footsteps and become a
legionnaire.
Towards the latter end of his army career he is very much
disturbed by an event that took place and in which he was
tasked. Another more senior legionnaire witnessed the
same event and was traumatised by it.
It is a work of fi ction based on various facts but written as
though most events took place circa AD35.
Some place names and those of individuals are fi ctitious
and bear no resemblance to the actual places or any living
persons.
