The author Donald O’Reilly has spent a long time piecing this together and looks like this mystery is totally interwoven with the last days of the Roman Empire. It also provides some interesting insights to the early periods of Christianity and the Constantine meeting of the bishops at Nicea.

This book is much more than a look at the mystery surrounding the legion. This is a very interesting read about the lead up to the last days of Empire.

Medieval Sword School, Jason Hulott

O'Reilly puts a great deal of effort into assembling a collection of clues that might prove the existence of this Theban Legion and support the story of its martyrdom. Some are quite convincing, others require a real leap of faith to accept.

I must admit I'm not convinced by the author's arguments, especially for the existence of a Theban legion, but I do like the amount of detail he provides to support his ideas, which allows the reader to maker their own judgement on this issue. The result is an interesting historical argument, and a worthwhile attempt to discover the truth behind an ancient mystery.

Donald O' Reilly's The Lost Legion Rediscovered is a remarkable book.

Ancient Warfare Magazine

Lost Legion Rediscovered is a remarkable book that should appeal to both the common reader and the historian of late Roman antiquity.
