Wounds of Honour
Book description

Why read it?
1 author picked Wounds of Honour as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
High-born Marcus Aquila finds himself on Hadrian’s Wall in a lowly auxiliary cohort after his family angers the mad Emperor Commodus. He arrives just in time for a tribal rebellion and finds himself up to his neck in crazed berserkers. The action is fast, the battles incredible. Be careful as you turn the page, because you might just slip in all the entrails. The series loses steam around book 7 but the first three are stunning.
From Duncan's list on rampaging Romans bathed in barbarian blood.
