Scarrow may have used these revolts to inform his fictional narrative of a similar revolt on Crete. ![]() Historically, there have been only three major Roman slave revolts documented by ancient historians - two on the island of Sicily and the famous revolt led on the Italian mainland by a Thracian slave turned gladiator named Spartacus. The two heroes are in pursuit of a nasty former gladiator named Ajax who led a slave revolt on Crete following an earthquake and tsunami. ![]() ![]() In this book the relationship has changed significantly and Cato now holds the superior rank of prefect. From reading other reviews, I gather that in previous novels, Macro has been the experienced teacher and Cato the young up-and-coming protégé. The other Scarrow book I read was Centurion and in it, Cato and Macro were both Centurions. I admit I have not read its immediate predecessor "Gladiator" but I had no problem picking up the story line with the background information provided. "The Legion" is the second book by Simon Scarrow I have read although it is the tenth in Scarrow's "Under the Eagle" series. ![]() ![]() The first tour was in 2010, with subsequent tours until 2012. ![]() ![]() Through her website, Ridgway was involved in running historical tours through her company History Tours of Britain.

![]() ![]() I think a couple of things make this podcast different from earlier reporting. ![]() What makes this podcast different from that earlier reporting? This is a high-profile case that’s been covered extensively over the years. And I thought that maybe we could learn some lessons about that topic from Alexis’ case. Then the second reason is that I'm working on a project for USA TODAY about disparities in missing children's investigations when it comes to children of color. I started working (at the Journal Sentinel) three days after she disappeared, so the case has kind of always been in the back of my consciousness the whole time I’ve been here in Milwaukee. People in Milwaukee still remember it and remember her and still want to know what happened, and that includes myself. One is that it's been just over 20 years since she disappeared and the case is still unsolved. ![]() There were a couple of reasons why I chose to report on Alexis this season.
