The Shield Triptych
The Men Rome Forgot
Three standalone novels from the less-told corners of Rome’s wars, bound not by plot but by a shield and by the soldiers and makers the record forgets. The First Punic War in The Hammer and the Shield, the Second in The Shield Left Behind, then Carrhae and the long road east in The Farthest Shield.
Each is complete in itself. Read them in any order, or follow the wars as they ran.
