    I am currently reading this title.

    "Senovara remembered the first time she had witnessed the ceremony, just a few weeks after she had married Quintus Flavius Candidus....She had never seen so many solidiers gathered in one place before and had thought the brightly polished metal of thier helmets and cuirasses, and the bright scarlet of their tunics, a glorius sight. Her new husband had looked so proud and so at home on the military parade ground. Looking back she realized that the day had been a turning point in her life; the moment when she had finally understood that she had married, not a childhood friend as most of the other girls of her tribe had done, but a man who had been a Roman Legionary and that, as a result. she had become part of a new way of life...."

    Extract from the Back jacket of the book.
