Order of Cato & Macro Books

British author Simon Scarrow's Cato & Macro series brings readers into the world of Roman military adventure through historical fiction. The books follow two compelling protagonists: Lucius Cornelius Macro, a seasoned Roman Army soldier with fifteen years of service who has recently earned promotion to Centurion, and Quintus Licinius Cato, a young former slave who enlists with the Eagles as a teenager.

This captivating series goes by several names, including the Eagle series and the Roman Legion series. Scarrow launched the saga in 2000 with his first novel, Under the Eagle, and continues to expand the series today. The books can be read in their original publication sequence, which conveniently matches their chronological storyline order:
