Santiago Posteguillo

At the end of the fourth century before Christ, Rome was about to be annihilated by the Carthaginian armies in command of Anibal. That was his inexorable destiny until a single man, a young officer of the legions, emerged, who transformed what should have happened into what was finally: the genesis of an empire and a secular civilization in time and history of the world. That child was named after his parent, Publio Cornelio Scipion, who was consul of Rome during the first year of that war. The exploits of the consul's son reached such magnitude that the people granted him a special nickname, an appeal concerning one of the territories he conquered: Africanus.

The cursed legions is the second part of the novel Africanus: the son of the consul, with whom the Spanish author Santiago Posteguillo began his trilogy on the Roman statesman and military Scipion the African winner of Anibal in the battle of Zama.

Trajano, the first Hispanic emperor in history, is known mainly for leading the Roman empire to its maximum extent.

Maximum Circus is the history of Trajano and his government, wars and betrayals, unbribed loyalties and impossible love stories.

Intrigas, battles, two teenage women, foreign languages, Rome, Partia, India, China, two Cesars and an empress are intertwined in the greatest epic account of the ancient world.

92 A.D. Several men fight for an empire, but Julia, daughter of kings, mother of cesars and wife of emperor, thinks of something more ambitious: a dynasty.

Santiago Posteguillo combines historical and epic rigor in his saga about Rome.
