Four thousand men disappeared, and the Eagle, the symbol of the Legion's honour, was lost. Years later there is a story that the Eagle has been seen again. So Marcus Aquila, whose father disappeared with the Ninth, travels north, to find the Eagle and bring it back, and to learn how his father died. But the tribes of the north are wild and dangerous, and they hate the Romans ..</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Rosemary Sutcliff, John Escott</note> <subject> <topic>English Fictions</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Literature</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Children's books</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">823.9</classification> <classification authority="ddc">R812-S97</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780194791724, 0194791726</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/12535/ea.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/12535/ea.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2023-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071139.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
