Father gives a great cry, as of a wild boar spitted on a shaft of ash, and then he is still. I do not need the doctors to pronounce him dead. But I do need to know why my brother isn't here.
Semper Romanus, by Christopher Jones, is a historical fiction piece based on Hannibal’s siege at Saguntum. If you don’t know anything about it (as I didn’t!), keep listening after the story for my interview with Chris.
Semper Romanus is narrated by Carli Schofield.
