Greetings, History-Lovers, Readers, and Romanophiles!

Today we have a very exciting announcement to share with all of you.

Eagles and Dragons Publishing is thrilled to announce the launch of three new non-fiction titles about the Roman Empire and the world of Ancient Rome!

As you all know, the history of the Roman Empire has been central to almost all of our books over the years, whether it is the Eagles and Dragons series, the world of The Etrurian Players, Saturnalia or The Carpathian Interlude.

The worlds, people, and places that we’ve researched over the years are as vast and varied as the Empire itself. We’ve learned about great Romans, military campaigns, archaeological sites, and the everyday lives of average Romans.

When we began our blog, Writing the Past, in 2009 as a way to share our research with readers, we never imagined that it would gain the worldwide readership that it has.

And by far, the most popular blog series have been Ancient Everyday and The Worlds of blog series for each of our novels.

That success is what inspired our new triad of non-fiction titles!

Over the last year, we’ve been sifting through over twenty years of articles and essays in which we’ve shared all of the research for our fiction. We have organized them, re-edited them, and compiled them into the following three new titles that will immerse readers in the world of the Roman Empire.

So, without further ado, here they are:

Ancient Everyday: An Educational and Entertaining Look at Everyday Life in the Roman Empire

Empire: A Mosaic of People and Places in the World of Ancient Rome 

Explore the Roman Empire!

Did you know that the Roman Empire, at its greatest extent, stretched from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to ancient Babylon in the east, and from the land of Egypt in the south all the way to Scotland in the far north? Did you ever wonder how many different peoples and places were found within the borders of the Roman world? What kind of people inhabited and influenced such a world? How did major cities like Rome and Athens compare to outposts at the far edge of the Empire?

If you have pondered these questions, or if your curiosity is piqued, then Empire is the book for you!

Join award-winning author and historian, Adam Alexander Haviaras, as he shares over twenty years of research exploring some of the people and places that adorn the pages of the history of the Roman Empire.

Learn about the lives and deeds of a wide range of people from emperors to poets, and allies to enemies. Journey back and forth across the Roman Empire to learn about settlements from Britannia to the sand seas of North Africa. Venture into dark forests on the northern frontier, and walk through some of the great cities of the east through articles that range from deep dives into research or snippets of background information, to travelogue-type essays that may inspire your own adventures.

Whether you are a longtime Romanophile, or have a passing interest in the history of Rome, this book has more variety than an emperor’s banquet table! It will also introduce you to some of the people and places that are not usually covered in the average history book.

A World of War: Short Essays on the Roman Army

March to War with Rome’s Legions!

Did you know that the Roman Empire, at its greatest extent, covered an area of roughly 2.2 million square miles stretching from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to ancient Babylon in the east, and from the land of Egypt in the south all the way to Scotland in the far north? Did you know that at the height of its power, the Roman Army was comprised of a standing force of over thirty legions with just under half a million professional soldiers and auxiliaries? How did a small mud hut village on the banks of the Tiber manage to create the greatest military and empire the world had ever seen?

The answer is simple… WAR.

Join award-winning author and historian, Adam Alexander Haviaras, as he shares his research exploring the world of the Roman Army from its creation to its evolution into the most disciplined and brutal fighting force in existence.

Learn not only about the weapons and tactics of Rome’s legions, but also about the deeply religious side of soldiers, and the role they played in building the Empire. Through short essays that range from deep dives into research to snippets of background information, A World of War also looks at some of the great campaigns of Rome’s legions, as well as some of its most brutal enemies.

Whether you are a longtime Romanophile, or have a passing interest in the Roman Army, this book promises to introduce you to the world of war that the men of Rome were born into.

Buy this book today and find out why the Roman Army truly was the most powerful and effective fighting force of the ancient world.
