«La última legión» is the historical novel by Valerio Massimo Manfredi, published by DEBOLSILLO in 2004 in paperback (496 pages, in Spanish).
In AD 476, the Roman Empire crumbles under barbarian invasions. Romulus Augustulus, emperor of the West, is taken prisoner by the Germanic general Wulfila and confined on Capri with his tutor Ambrosinus. Soldiers loyal to Rome rescue him and begin a journey across Europe to Britannia, land of the druids, where an unexpected fate awaits them. The novel weaves the decline of the empire with the Arthurian legend, giving rise to the sword Excalibur.
The work belongs to the Best Seller collection. The translation from Italian is by José Ramón Monreal, from the original «L'ultima legione».
For readers of historical and adventure novels set in Late Antiquity, with a taste for the blend of history and myth.
