Sinopse: The Last Legion features an impressive reenactment of ancient Rome. The battles are breathtaking, and the rich description of the historic cities makes the reader feel as if they are accompanying Aurelio on his journey through the empire. The legends and prophecies that were widespread at the time come to the fore. And it's impossible not to fall in love with the characters. As is well known, Romulus Augustus was even the last emperor on the western side of the Roman Empire. Still, the book's outcome is surprising - only at the end is it revealed to the reader that the story he followed with such anticipation is the origin of one of the greatest European myths, very well known, already told so many times in books and movies. It's a last, masterful play by Valerio Massimo Manfredi that no one could have imagined.
