Eighteen-year-old Marcus is the son of a great Roman general, Cracis, who had fallen from grace some years previously. Marcus and his father live quietly on a small farm in southern Italy along with an old ex-soldier, Serge. Marcus wants nothing more than to be a soldier, but his father has forbidden any discussion of the topic. One day a stranger comes to the farm and succeeds in convincing Marcus' father to join him in a war against the Gauls. Cracis forbids Marcus to follow him, but Marcus is a head-strong young man.

Neatly inked gift inscription to front free endpaper. Text transfer to front pastedown. Sporadic foxing within text block, mainly to illustrations, one of which is detached.
