[publicclassics] New book (Roman History) - The Fate of the Ninth Legion

[Dn Campbell]

 The disappearance of Rome's Ninth Legion is a mystery that has piqued the interest of historians and archaeologists since the eighteenth century. They knew that it had formed part of the Roman garrison of Britain from the time of the emperor Claudius, but there was no record of its involvement in the great frontier works of the second century. It seemed simply to have disappeared. 
Now, in a new book from Bocca della Verità Publishing, in conjunction with Amazon Direct Publishing, archaeologist Duncan B. Campbell follows the trail of research down through the decades in a meticulously documented account. The contributions of such iconic figures as Theodor Mommsen, Bartolomeo Borghesi, Emil Ritterling, Eric Birley, Herbert Nesselhauf, and Werner Eck are carefully weighed up; each new item of evidence is registered and its significance explained; and the unfolding solution to the age-old mystery is gradually pieced together.
