He has written a number of fictional books around actual events if the period. I have thoroughly enjoyed them and the reignited my interest in the Roman Empire.I have looked around for similar books covering the same period and came across Robert Fabbri who has written the Vespasian series. Fabbri is a British writer who like Kane builds fictional stories around historical happenings. The one difference is that his principal character Vespasian actually existed and ruled as Emperor of Rome between 69AD and 79AD. This is the first in a series of books.Rome is no longer a Republic and now operates under the direct rule of the Emperor. It is a time of political intrigue and violence is never far away as members of the Roman elite vie for political power and personal wealth. Vespasian is an adolescent who likes working on his parents farm but is brought to Rome along with his brother in order for them to advance their careers and well-being. It involves making political choices and that means taking sides.Vespasian finds a place in a Roman Legion heading to Thracia but prior to his departure he is asked to assist his sponsor in a matter within the city of Rome. The endeavour goes well but their political opponents identify Vespasian in the process and he has to leave Rome in a hurry pursued by members of the Praetorian Guard. It is hoped that Vespasian will be able to vanish into the Roman Army he is to be part of.Once safely in the Legion Vespasian discovers that the political intrigue he experienced in Rome is just as rife in the Army. A political faction is engineering revolts in the provinces to ensure that the army is unable to intervene in their political activities in Rome. The purpose is to undermine and displace the Emperor and replace him with one of their own. Vespasian has to identify and reveal the Army spy who is orchestrating this campaign. In the meantime local tribes are rising up against Rome and thousands of lives are at risk.Fabbri obviously knows his Roman history and integrates well his fictional account into the historical reality. The political intrigue of the time is central to the story backed up by the reality of Army life and the terror and horror of his battle accounts. An excellent book which left me concluding that other books in this series will be well worth a look. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Veni, Vidi, Legi! *by C***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 March 2019* Usual formulaic Roman hero of the legions, quite a good yarn, with plenty of battle gore! If you like Scarrow you will enjoy this. Don't expect sophisticated character development or hidden, deep philosophical meanings. It's a hearty, down to earth, Boys Own story. And none tge worse for that.One thing I especially liked was the timbre of Roman lifestyle minutiae that permeated the book. Plenty of interesting historical background detail - ceremonies, consecrations, domestic slave etiquette, eating & drinkibg, and military technology - among other cultural descriptions.Worth a punt. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it! I'm hooked on anything Roman/Historical /Fiction *by J***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 March 2018* Love it! I'm hooked on anything Roman/Historical /Fiction.One needs a fairly strong stomach for the gore and downright cruelty but if you can get passed that it's a story that certainly holds one's interest. Builds the tension for various situations ie battles and betrayals.. It's as if the reader is with the characters. It's a trilogy and so I'm looking forward to the other two books. My only criticism is that books 2 and 3 came first and I had to wait for book 1 for a little time after. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/62512144-tribune-of-rome-vespasian-1-hardcover-1-may-2011](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/62512144-tribune-of-rome-vespasian-1-hardcover-1-may-2011) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
