The Spartan Who Defied Rome

Anthony Vincent Bruno

Book Overview: 

Jerusalem 33 AD
A raw Roman recruit refuses to abuse a prisoner already condemned to death. This denial of a corrupt, sadistic order leads to a lifetime of trial and persecution for the Spartan born warrior. Marcus Tychon Triarius is sent to the dreaded Bithynia mines to die a slave but his destiny is yet to be decided. The Roman Empire is never far off his heels, particularly a brutal centurion who has taken the youth's honorable stance personally. Heartbreak follows for the idealistic Marcus who remains a non-believer, even when he encounters the mother of the crucified prisoner, someone about to change the world forever.
It is easy to join in with a mob, to inflict cruelty on the weak and defenseless, but when the victim is someone extraordinary . . . extraordinary beyond belief . . .

Seeing as the one-eyed man’s legs were apart, I kicked up into his groin, seeing him collapse immediately to the ground. I knelt down on his chest, with his scutum fixed firmly under his chin, choking him. He stank of wine. Had they all been drinking? “Who are you?” I asked and then eased the scutum’s pressure. “We’re deserters from the Tenth, and some others who tagged along.. . . Read More

Great Tale of Honor and Trust!

This novel came at a great time of reaffirmation of my acknowledged faith and trust in God! Written in a most enjoyable manner. Thanks, Bruno.

Enjoyable historical read with Christian connections.

A well written story about the early believers in Jesus.

A good read

This was a good book. Different than the usual story. I found it difficult sometimes to decide where I actually was in the story. The chat
Rafters were believable- as was the story. I would recommend this novel to anyone interested in the Romans or Christ.

Inspiring
