The Forgotten Legion Chronicles launched Ben Kane’s career with a story inspired by the historical fate of Roman legionaries captured and marched to the far reaches of the ancient world. The five books follow three characters from different social classes whose lives intersect across the Roman Republic’s final decades.

Starting with The Forgotten Legion in 2008, the series takes its characters from Rome’s gladiatorial arenas to the battlefields of the East. The Silver Eagle and The Road to Rome continue their journeys, while The March (2018) returned to the series a decade later to add another chapter.
