Hughes and Roman historian Dr Simon Elliott work through the evidence for the Ninth Legion's fate — weighing the northern-frontier-destruction theory against an eastern-deployment hypothesis. Properly treats the military and epigraphic evidence rather than just retelling the Rosemary Sutcliff version, and Elliott is the right guest for this.
