Surprisingly, this obscure book one of the most memorable of all works I have ever read in the genre of historical fiction. Its just a bizarre and vivid tale written with style and conviction. Characters which leap off the page. Its man's historical fiction on display here--although Mary Renault is wonderful; this stuff by Duggan is filled with real menace and real excitement. Violent and ruthless. He's got sharply-drawn descriptions of warfare; campaigns; marches; equipment--Roman battles as told from the perspective of a Roman soldier! You just can't beat it. Huge treat. I've got to pursue his writings further.

Story: 7 (Strong character focus but drifts after midpoint and ends suddenly)Characters: 8 (Brings life to historic figures with surprising sympathy)Accuracy: 8 (Mixes eras frequently, but excellent for the time)When starting this book I was expecting an outrageous and indignant story about the decline of Roman values and the rise of a degenerate oriental despotate. Instead, the book is largely a peon to Elagabalus and a critique of, if anything, the intolerance and increasingly unequal practices of the Roman state. Elagabalus (or Varius rather) has long been an infamous figure, though he’s never reached the name brand recognition of Nero or Caligula (or even Commodus). Despite what is often shown, emperors were more often classified as “bad” for private vices than public cruelty. A certain amount of cruelty is permitted in an emperor; immodesty and undignified behavior is not. And despite the vitriol of ancient historians (and unsupported claims of behavior such as human sacrifice) Varius can rarely be shown as a killer. Few named victims appear in accounts (a sure sign of rumor and innuendo) and those that do appear show up alive and well under his successor. In other words, he was despised pretty much solely for his private life, which never really hurt anybody. But having seen enough depictions of LGBT figures in ‘50s cinema and lit I assumed that this was enough to tar him mercilessly as a decadent and murderous tyrant (homosexuality was, after all, only a symptom of deeper moral laxity and ungovernable, therefore cruel, passions). I’m pleased to say that isn’t the case here.This account is intent on being scrupulously fair (perhaps even excessively so), but what does that mean for the story’s interest value? After all, shocking and outrageous behavior is a popular trope in …

When wanting to re-read old favorite favorites, Duggan comes to mind. The kid from Syria could display for The Donald ... ***"Family Favourites (1960), a historical novel by Alfred Duggan – an ordinary Roman soldier witnesses the reign of Emperor Elagabalus"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elagabalus***220 AD - The Roman army controlled the empire. When popular with soldiers Caracalla was assassinated, the Praetorians selected an army lawyer to lead them ... then quickly rebelled to award the emperor role to a 13-year old Syrian. We learn about the events from the displaced son of a minor landholding family in France. This narrator learned to read and write before being orphaned in a localized civil war battle. He joins the legions and has just become a Praetorian and marched to Syria. Duggan creates a role of advisor for Duratius.(In Gillian Bradshaw's Dark North, Caracalla is a character, too.)Dark NorthQuoting from the Prologue"It is really most extraordinary that I am alive, and as far as I can see reasonably safe, at the age of forty-five. All the same, a few years ago I had to make a fresh start, in a land where my past would be unknown. I have settled down here, in northern Britain, just fifteen miles within the Wall. The climate is horrible, but in other respects the situation suits me. I live in the province, but four hours' walking will get me outside it; and if the police should try to follow me, well, the auxiliaries in the forward blockhouses stand in some awe of a veteran from the regular army; with any luck they would cover my tracks."So here I am, a genuine time-expired Praetorian with an honourable discharge ... The oxen and packhorses I breed for the army bring in quite a decent income ...**p98 - quoting "The lady Soaemias …
