The Rider of Rome series focuses on Roman cavalry — a corner of the Roman military that receives less attention than the legions in most historical fiction. The Iron Gates (2024) follows a cavalryman through a story that showcases the mounted forces that served alongside Rome’s infantry.
The book adds another perspective to Turney’s extensive catalog of Roman military fiction, complementing the legion-focused Marius’ Mules and the politically charged Praetorian series with a view from the saddle.
