A meticulous work of detailed and document scholarship... Of immense value for historical scholarship and an inherently fascinating read for the non-specialists general reader..., Elliott brings us close to the solution with a clear deductive method and a flawless analysis of historical sources!, Incredibly well researched, Simon Elliott uses his extensive knowledge of this Roman military machine to offer all possible scenarios for the fate of the IXth legion... the investigation process is just as entertaining as [his] conclusions... well worth a read.", This is an inspiring and gripping piece of detective work of one of the great Roman mysteries of the missing IXth Legion Hispana. This book is a must have for all people interested in Roman history!, The highlight of the book is certainly the events of the mid 120s, from Dominic Perring's 2017 report of his London excavations, with its proposal of a Hadrianic War there., [A]n excellent book... packed with details... well researched, the theories were supported and it was a very readable book too... very highly recommended!!, An excellent inquiry into the fate of Legio IX Hispana. All of the options are discussed and the author's view on its fate is well balanced. Good read., A really intriguing read. It is hard to imagine losing a whole Legion--but as we know it wasn't the first time., [A] great and fascinating read... this will definitely appeal to military historians, those who love a good mystery and wargamers. I can't recommend this book enough..., A new book on the force made famous in The Eagle of the Ninth theorizes that its men met their deaths on a journey into a Caledonian 'heart of darkness'., The story alone would be enthralling, but Simon Elliott is the perfect guide to take us through the pages of history and across the entire Empire. He is deeply knowledgeable, rigorously skeptical and quite happy to present his own ideas and then knock them down in favor of better ones., Here we have an historical detective story pursued with academic rigor. We highly recommend this book., ...a balanced and comprehensive account which offers the reader a series of snapshots of moments when the Ninth Legion might have been annihilated. In doing so, it provides an insight into many aspects of Roman political, military and economic organization during the first and second centuries AD.
