Alair is a boy who lives on the border of the late Roman Empire. In a garrisoned city that protects from raiders and raiders, Alair dreams of being the banner bearer of the legion stationed there, and there is no greater honor than wearing the Draco. With his friends Zía, Mauri, Otmaro and their inseparable Gato and the dog Ee, they live their adventure along the Great River that separates the empire from the mysterious and wooded lands of the Tribes. Fun work in the form of a story. With a historical background that is given from the author's previous books. Profusely illustrated for children, however, it preserves the documentary style that shows precious decorations based on real monuments and archaeological pieces of the time. Childish but with a cultural touch. Curiously, it has been financed with cameos of real people that appear in the characterized illustrations of the time!

A year has passed since the first adventures of Alair and his brave friends. Now in the service of the Emperor, they are about to be sent on their first mission outside the borders of the River City: to none other than distant Syria, the eastern border of the mighty Sassanid Empire! Discover the Roman cities of the East, the great river Euphrates or the mysterious gods of antiquity. What new adventures await our little troop in such exotic and vast lands? Zia, Mauritius, Otmaro, Ee and the irreverent Cat, not forgetting their inseparable dragon Spes, as well as new and unexpected friends. In this second part of the Tale of the Draconarius, you will once again enjoy great sets based on real monuments, mosaics and statues, and without a doubt, so are the characters. Dozens of cameos fill its pages, as many friends have wanted to participate again in this work. Fran Guil has accepted the challenge of continuing to tell the story of Alair and his friends, as many fans of the work have asked him to do so. While retaining his cartoon style aimed at children, he has opted for illustrations full of colour and detail, showing the richness of the late Roman world with the hope of awakening in young readers a curiosity for history. Despite the touches of fantasy and artistic licence, almost everything that happens is based on real events. But, above all, it is a book by and for friends, just like Alair and his merry troop, Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Drawing on historical sources, myth and folklore, Fantastic Creatures in Mythology and Folklore explores the roles of fantastical beasts - particularly the unicorn, the mermaid, and the dragon - in a series of thematic chapters organised according to their legendary dwelling place, be this land, sea, or air. Through this original approach, Juliette Wood provides the first study of mythical beasts in history from the medieval period to the present day, providing new insights into the ways these creatures continue to define our constantly changing relationship to both real and imagined worlds. It places particular emphasis on the role of the internet, computer games, and the cyberspace community, and in doing so, demonstrates that the core medieval myth surrounding these creatures remains static within the ever-increasing arena of mass marketing and the internet. This is a vital resource for undergraduates studying fantastic creatures in history, literature and media studies.

Long before Ebenezer Scrooge, there was Catus Pompilius, the meanest man in Rome. It is the time of Saturnalia, the most highly-anticipated festival across the whole of the Roman Empire. In the ancient city of Rome, citizens and slaves are preparing to honour the gods and to enjoy a time of freedom and revelry among family and friends. Saturnalia truly is the best of days for all! That is, for all except the wickedest landlord in Rome: Catus Pompilius. With a blatant disregard for gods and men alike, Catus Pompilius moves through the streets of Rome spreading misery wherever he can, dousing the Saturnalian light of the world around him. However, this Saturnalia, the gods have decided that Catus’ time has come. Judgment is upon him! Will Catus Pompilius be able to redeem himself and prevail upon the gods’ mercy? Or will their divine wrath hurl him into the darkest depths of Tartarus for all eternity? Read this dark tale of gods and men, wickedness and redemption, to find out! Saturnalia is an exciting retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic tale. It is also a story for fans of ancient Rome, of tales of gods and men, and stories that make one examine the quality of the life we lead as mortals. If you are a fan of A Christmas Carol, stories about life and redemption against all odds, then you will love Saturnalia!

Can the concept of original sin truly be founded on the beautiful Genesis creation story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden? Only if the story is misinterpreted in terms of literal truth which entails belief in an articulate serpent. But when the story is interpreted as myth-history - not literal history - this important myth records a unique, fundamental and uplifting event in the human story. The garden paradise pre-dates the written Old Testament, having circulated in Abraham's country of Mesopotamia in the second millennium BC incorporated in some of the world's oldest literature: the epic poem of Gilgamesh. Behind the naked figures of Adam and Eve stands an earlier naked couple whose 'history' should certainly be preserved in Genesis. However, interpretation of this 'history' in literal terms and from the standpoint of monotheism turns that ancient 'history' on its head. During its long life the story of the first man to enter the garden paradise has been interpreted differently from at least four differing standpoints: Mesopotamian polytheism, the revolution of patriarchal monotheism, Christian monotheism, and the standpoint of science. At its origins, however, this priceless 'history' had nothing to do with the origin of sin. On the contrary, that interpretation throws the baby out with the bathwater. Look at the story in terms of myth, and in sympathy with its integral guiding images of serpent and tree and the garden reveals its long-buried treasure of truth.

The Holy Grail, the kingdom of Camelot, The Knights of the Round Table and the magical sword Excalibur are all key ingredients of the legends surrounding King Arthur. But who was he really, where did he come from, and how much of what we read about him in stories that date back to the Dark Ages is true? So far historians have failed to show that King Arthur really existed at all, for a good reason - they have been looking in the wrong place. In this fascinating and thought-provoking book, Alistair Moffat shatters all existing assumptions about Britain's most enigmatic hero. With reference to literary sources and historical documents, to archaeology and the ancient names of rivers, hills and forts, he strips away a thousand years of myth to unveil the real King Arthur. And in doing so he solves one of the greatest riddles of them all - the site of Camelot itself.
