It's amazing series
Historical and action
I would recommend this series to anyone who like historical and action in the older time
story take place back in the time of Rome and the upstarting of Camelot.

First book was best of all

The Skystone

During the days of the decaying Roman Empire, the legions of Britain struggle to preserve the ancient principles of loyalty and discipline-virtues embodied in the Roman general Caius Britannicus and his friend Publius Varrus, an ex-soldier turned ironsmith. Whyte re-creates the turbulence and uncertainty that marked fifth-century Britain and provides a possible origin for one of the greatest artifacts of Arthurian myth-the legendary sword Excalibur. Strong characters and fastidious attention to detail make this a good choice for most libraries and a sure draw for fans of the Arthurian cycle.

I understand that. But is it based on someone's actual life or is it a made up character in a historical setting (i.e. historical fiction).
