Centurion

This story is about a young Centurion, Lucius Varus. Lucius started off as a Roman Legionnaire, just as any great general of Rome does. In time, his name would be remembered through the ages, until the very end of time. Lucius had been stationed with Legio II Augusta, The Second Legion of Augustus Caesar. The Legion was deployed in Africa, to put an end to the Carthaginian threat once and for all. Scipio the Elder had led the assault after fifteen years of harassment by Hannibal the Great. They sailed for Carthage. Would the Second be able to destroy Carthage? Or would Hannibal return, and wipe them out, forcing a retreat and saving Carthage from the might of Rome?
