Roma contra Roma

In the turbulent first century BC, in the heart of Hispania, Abisunhar, leader of the Tyrsi tribe, faces the dilemma of upholding his people's traditions or allying himself with the rising forces of Rome. The arrival of General Sertorius, who seeks to unite the Hispanic tribes against Roman power, tests the loyalty and survival instincts of Abisunhar and his people. Amid battles, betrayals, and alliances, they must confront Pompey in a fratricidal war that devastates the Iberian Peninsula. The novel recounts the founding of Pompelo—modern-day Pamplona—and the impact of Romanization on the Basque tribes.
