The Book

Lindsay has applied his research skills and knowledge of living archaeology to produce a ground-breaking study of one of the most extraordinary figures of Augustus’ family and the original conqueror of Germania Magna. For many Romans Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus was the equivalent of Alexander the Great.

Aimed at a general, non-academic reader, the book is a clear-eyed account written in a lucid narrative style in the mold of Augustus by Anthony Everett and The Nature of Alexander by Mary Renault. The book will appeal to readers of ancient world history, biography, military history and adventure stories. The book will appear under the Pen and Sword Military series of Pen and Sword Books.
