A Roman Adventure is S.J.A. Turney’s children’s fiction series, bringing the Roman world to younger readers through accessible adventure stories. Crocodile Legion (2016) and Pirate Legion (2017) use the Roman military setting as a backdrop for stories aimed at a middle-grade audience.
The books reflect Turney’s belief that the best way to get young people interested in history is through stories that make it exciting rather than educational. They carry the same attention to historical detail as his adult fiction, scaled down for readers who are encountering the Roman world for the first time.
