The young Roman officer Marcus Aquila sets off on a perilous journey to find out what happened to the legion in which his father served, and--if possible--to salvage its eagle and its honor. Accompanying him is Esca, his freed slave, with whom he gradually develops a deep and remarkable friendship that crosses the boundaries of conquest and colonialism. An unforgettable story of adventure, humanity, and the mysteries of the past.","brand":"Everyman's Library","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45355708416151,"sku":"9781101907696","price":1348.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781101907696.webp?v=1767671107","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-eagle-of-the-ninth-illustrated-by-c-walter-hodges-9781101907696","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
