The Marius’ Mules Series by S J A Turney are Roman military history novels about the Gallic Wars that were waged by Caesar. The author got most of his material from the diaries of Caesar that described the wars. The novels follow the life and times of Caesar in his first year of the conquest of Gaul. Nonetheless, while they are derived from Caesar’s diaries and while Caesar is a central character, he is just but a hub around which the story of the lead characters revolve. The lead character in the novels is Fronto, a fictional figure that is one of the legates to Caesar alongside other military commanders. They provide advice and participate in the decision making regarding war tactics and in negotiation with the Gallic tribes. Caesar, while one of the most well-known historical figures never dominates the story which is instead driven by Fronto the legate. Fronto is a lovable commander who is credited with coming up with brilliant plans and solutions to the problems that Caesar and his army face in Gaul. While Julius Caesar provides the events, his commanders provide the personal touch and the detail to the events of the stories. The novels describe the obstacles and various battles the army fought and how they went about winning them, giving deeper insights into Roman military tactics of the age.
