Camul and Acco were both Gauls of the Pyrenees living at the time of Julius Caesar, both young and proud of their noble descent; Acco, also an Ovate training to be a Druid. In avenging the girl he loved Acco brought upon himself the curse of the Goddess; and in consequence both men left home to join the Roman army. The story tells of their adventures and travels which took them to Rome and across the greater part of the Empire as far as its Eastern rim. Duggan includes a brilliant account of the fate of Marcus Crassus's expedition of seven Roman legions and Gallic cavalry which set out to plunder Seleucia and met with the Parthian horse-bowmen under their leader the Surenas. 'WINTER QUARTERS covers a remarkable amount of ground, and covers it convincingly...Mr Duggan throws the strengths and weaknesses of the era into sharp relief...damnably skilful' Sunday Times

When Julius Caesar was murdered, the power vacuum was filled by a triumvirate: Mark Antony, the flamboyant soldier interested only in plunder; Octavius, Caesar's named heir, but not even a citizen - and the least known of all, Marcus Lepidus, an old-fashioned patrician idiot who believed blindly in the ideals of Rome, but was hopelessly inept at both war and politics.Told from Lepidus's point of view, this masterly tragicomedy charts both the seminal events of the post-Caesarian era, and the career of a man locked into his own conviction that what would preserve his line must also be good for Rome. It is funny, fascinating, and ultimately moving.'Duggan looks upon the past with a connoisseur's relish of villainy and violence . . . An extremely gifted writer who can move into an unknown period and give it life and immediacy' New York Times
