Beric the Briton

G. A. Henty

Description

Beric is a young Briton who is taken hostage by the Romans to ensure his tribe’s compliance with their rule. While hostage he studies the Latin language and Roman culture, history, and military tactics.

After his release he becomes chief of his tribe, and goes on to engage in several battles against the Romans in Britannia and Italia, in which he utilizes the knowledge he gained in captivity to great effect.

Set in the time of the Roman invasion of Britain, Beric’s adventures see him interacting with well-known historical figures like Boudica and Emperor Nero, as well as other features of the era including early Christianity and the gladiators’ arena.
