    The novel is really interesting and fun. The history is accurate but has a different ending chosen by the author. Personally I'm not a big fan of historic novels but this one is a really good one and I would definitely recommend it.

    Someone said it gives the vibes of "Pirates of the Caribbean".
    And they aren't wrong, but it's also very rich in the history of the fictional world. I'm not really into historical fiction, but I was captivated by the storytelling and the character's names. They all have really good names.

    Awesome job Author.

    It's an alternate historical work which gives the vibes of "Pirates of the Caribbean". Tbh, it's been a while since I last read anything related to the Roman Empire and Byzantium. The story is packed with action and adventure. I'll seriously recommend this book to the history lovers. Good work author!!

    This novel is about the history of colonization era and medieval times, if you like history genre on a novel this one that i can recommend cause the author make the contents as accurate to the history, but it's an alternate history where the romans still survive. There is something that needs some polishing and it will be an great novel about historu for sure, if the author continues writing this novel and I'll support this novel too. Read it you might like it too.

    An incredible story that is so historically accurate, I can't help but applaud the author. It is also humbling to read this story as it inspires me to be a better writer. Think about it: this story has a lot of historical facts and explanations and yet I, someone who passed my history test with a below average score, was drawn in. It never felt cluttered or boring and was rather engaging, a testament to not only how good the author is in writing, but how much effort he put in to make this compelling story.

    The characters are also well done and fleshed out and the action scenes are also great. Antonius is a character I can get behind; he is scheming but has a sense of honor. Abdullah is another character that I admired; I thought he would be one of those arrogant characters in webnovels that are there just for face slapping but was pleasantly surprised when I found him to be just as smart as Antonius. Grammar is also well done, just a few errors here and there but they hardly affect the story. As I mention in my reviews, there are stories with horrendous grammatical errors that are more popular than these hidden gems and make no mistake, this is a hidden gem.
