Download or read book The Centurions Series written by Damion Hunter and published by Canelo. This book was released on 2022-09-29 with total page 1853 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales of deceit, betrayal and revenge in ancient Rome await... Includes all four books in The Centurions series; The Centurions, The Barbarian Princess, The Emperor’s Games and The Border Wolves. The Centurions: Correus and Flavius are half-brothers, sons of a brilliant general. One, son of a slave, is a born warrior destined to excel. The other, a nobleman by birth, must struggle relentlessly to succeed. When they both join the Centuriate, a position Flavius has always known he will inherit, and one that Correus has long coveted, together they face the brutal reality of war. Fighting German barbarians will prove dangerous, not only to their bodies, but to their souls as well... Barbarian Princess: Half-brothers and rivals, Correus and Flavius, lead dangerous lives as Centurions. After imprisonment and torture, Flavius found his strength and proved his mettle. Correus, son of a slave, found glory on the battlefield. But now the brothers have been stationed in Wales, a land of barbarians, mud and freezing rain. Here they must face the shame of lost battle and the thrill of a new era for their beloved Rome. And in Wales awaits a prize that could change one of their lives forever... The Emperor's Games: Correus and Flavius have won respect in service to the Empire. Correus is entrusted with the honoured task of running the Emperor’s brutal games. Flavius, a Centurion at his brother’s side, has risen to become the Emperor’s most trusted advisor. But now Correus has been given a deadly mission: quelling a barbarian uprising in Germany. While he struggles to negotiate a treaty that could save the lives of thousands, he uncovers a deadly plot that could cast the Empire – and his own family – into ruin... The Border Wolves: A new threat has emerged at the outskirts of the Roman Empire on the Danube, one that could throw the entire region into chaos. Correus, risen to prefect of a cavalry ala on the border, and Flavius, advisor to the emperor, have both attempted to warn the erratic Domitian of the seriousness of this foe, but to no avail. With trouble at home in the form of an irate senator, as well as the impending doom of a devastating military loss, can the two brothers use their accumulated experience, grit and trust in each other to ensure their family’s safety, once and for all? An epic Roman adventure series spanning continents, perfect for fans of Simon Scarrow, Ben Kane and Conn Iggulden.

He wasn’t born to the social class required to maintain a marriage within Alex’s high-ranking family, or to fully implement the military office that Verus had forced on him. Now he has to keep his wife safe by keeping her a slave, and hold together a Legion close to open revolt, hopefully arriving in Verona before Minerva’s 1st is reduced to a mob.

In the war between Franks and Romans to decide the fate of the last imperial province, Providence will lead her down a path she could never have imagined.

Download or read book The Centurion written by Jason Owen and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Centurion Lucius Titus Justus is a devoted Roman soldier. He oversees the city of Capernaum with fairness and diligence. Though still tenuous, Lucius has cultivated a peaceful coexistence for the Jews and Romans he rules over. This is not the case for all of Judea. Factions of bandits threaten the peace of the province, and disloyalty among the Roman ranks tips the scales in favor of revolution. Lucius and his men soon learn of a plot against Pontius Pilate that could see the end of his rule. It seems one man, a Jewish priest who has been garnering both praise and skepticism for his wonderous acts, is a key element in a rogue centurion's plan to take power from Pilate. Lucius is familiar with the stories circulating the region of this man and his radical teachings but has ignored this relatively harmless priest to tend to more pressing matters. That is, until his beloved servant becomes the victim of a tragic accident. The boy's injuries are beyond the abilities of Lucius's most trusted physician. He finds himself seeking out this Jesus for a miracle. What he finds is more than he ever imagined. Join The Centurion in his journey to faith and redemption.

Book Synopsis Queer Readings of the Centurion at Capernaum by : Christopher B. Zeichmann
Download or read book Queer Readings of the Centurion at Capernaum written by Christopher B. Zeichmann and published by SBL Press. This book was released on 2022-10-28 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first-ever monograph on the history of queer biblical interpretation of a controversial biblical passage Since the 1950s, homoerotic readings of the pericope in which Jesus heals a Roman centurion’s slave have been built upon three of the account’s features: the specific Greek word pais, which can refer to youth, slave, or the junior partner in a sexual relationship between two men; Luke’s characterization of the young man as “dear” (entimos) to the centurion; and commonplace homoeroticism in the Roman army. Rather than affirming or denying the historical reality of a sexual relationship between the centurion and the young man, Christopher B. Zeichmann instead traces the shifting patterns of queer readings of the text and the influences of the sexual, political, and theological discourses of late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century Europe, the United States, and Australia. Readers will see how distinct political contexts have led interpreters to find very different meanings about the sexual subtexts of this story.

Download or read book The Centurion's Empire written by Sean Mcmullen and published by Tor Science Fiction. This book was released on 1999-05-01 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Aurealis Award In the year that Mount Vesuvius destroyed Pompeii, the Roman Centurion Vitellan set off for the twenty-first century as Imperial Rome's last human-powered time machine. He killed an unfaithful lover by just letting her grow old, but her hate pursued him across seven centuries. In 1358 he stood with a few dozen knights against an army of nine thousand to defend the life of a beautiful countess...and earned a love that would conquer death. Now Vitellan has awakened in the twenty-first century, a bewildered fugitive, betrayed and hunted in a world where minds and bodies are swapped and memories are bought, sold, and read like books. But worst of all, a deadly enemy from the fourteenth century is still very much alive--and closing in.

Download or read book The Centurion's Wife (Acts of Faith Book #1) written by Janette Oke and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Janette Oke has dreamed for years of retelling a story in a biblical time frame from a female protagonist's perspective, and Davis Bunn is elated to be working with her again on this sweeping saga of the dramatic events surrounding the birth of Christianity...and the very personal story of Leah, a young Jewess of mixed heritage trapped in a vortex of competing political agendas and private trauma. Caught up in the maelstrom following the death of an obscure rabbi in the Roman backwater of first-century Palestine, Leah finds herself also engulfed in her own turmoil--facing the prospect of an arranged marriage to a Roman soldier, Alban, who seems to care for nothing but his own ambitions. Head of the garrison near Galilee, he has been assigned by Palestine's governor to ferret out the truth behind rumors of a political execution gone awry. Leah's mistress, the governor's wife, secretly commissions Leah also to discover what really has become of this man whose death--and missing body--is causing such furor. This epic drama is threaded with the tale of an unlikely romance and framed with dangers and betrayals from unexpected sources. At its core, The Centurion's Wife unfolds the testing of loyalties--between two young people whose inner searchings they cannot express, between their irreconcilable heritages, and ultimately between their humanity and the Divine they yearn to encounter.
