In 117 AD the Roman Empire was at its peak. Its territory stretched from Southern Scotland to North Africa, from Spain to Judea. It contained around 100 million people.

“The Eagle Has Fallen” is an unravelling of that mystery. We reveal how the loss of the Ninth Legion was a truly catastrophic event: the devastating news was suppressed by Hadrian to safeguard his reign.

FATE OF ROMAN LEGION SOLVED
AUTHOR BRIAN Young believes he has unravelled one of the greatest mysteries of the Roman Empire – the disappearance of the Ninth Legion in the north of Britain.
His best-selling novel “The Eagle has Fallen” took six years to research and write and the NHS engineer said: “I wrote it as accurately as possible.
About 80% or the characters and 80% of the story are based on real events but it needed a little artistic licence.”
Speaking at his holiday home in Polop, he said 9th Legion of Rome- a 5,000-strong unit – was ordered from its garrison at York to quell an uprising of the Brigantes, a tribe of Britons with a homeland stretching from Scotland to modern day Liverpool.
The fate of the legion has intrigued historians and archaeologists for years. It’s loss has been blamed on a catastrophic military defeat to a supernatural vanishing. Brian believes the Ninth Legion was ambushed.
I am not saying the whole of the legion was wiped out, it is entirely possible some soldiers survived,” he said. “There is no direct evidence the 9th Legion Roman left Britain but because of politics I believe the loss of the Ninth was covered up and smoothed over.”
And he said if the Ninth’s Eagle was lost in battle, the unit would never have been reformed. “If you lost your eagle it was an absolute disgrace.”
