About the book

Rosemary Sutcliff's The Eagle of the Ninth is set in Roman Britain and follows Marcus Flavius Aquila, a young Roman officer determined to discover what happened to his father's lost legion. Travelling beyond Hadrian's Wall with his companion Esca, Marcus enters dangerous territory in search of the missing legion's eagle standard. The novel combines adventure with a richly imagined picture of Roman Britain and questions of loyalty, identity and belonging.
