DUGGAN, A., Winter Quarters. Peter Davies, London, 1972. 224p. Bound wrps.'Camul and Acco were both Gauls of the Pyrenees living at the time of Julius Caesar, both young and proud of their noble descent; Acco, also an Ovate training to be a Druid. In avenging the girl he loved Acco brought upon himself the curse of the Goddess; and in consequence both men left home to join the Roman army. The story tells of their adventures and travels which took them to Rome and across the greater part of the Empire as far as its Eastern rim. Duggan includes a brilliant account of the fate of Marcus Crassus's expedition of seven Roman legions and Gallic cavalry which set out to plunder Seleucia and met with the Parthian horse-bowmen under their leader the Surenas. Winter Quarters covers a remarkable amount of ground, and covers it convincingly.' (Sunday Times). Duggan is according to the Times Literary Supplement 'regarded as 'a prime example of the symbiotic relationship between the historian and his fictional interpreter.' € 9.00 (Antiquarian)

DUGGAN, A., Three's Company. Faber and Faber, London, 1958. 286p. Cloth wrps. Wrps and cover bit grimy. 'Three’s Company tells the story of the Triumvirate from the point of view of Lepidus, its least distinguished member. To keep the reader’s interest when giants like Caesar, Mark Antony and Augustus bestride the stage is no mean feat in itself. Yet it is achieved without apparent effort and without distortion. (…) Lepidus holds our attention because his personal insignificance renders him an ideal medium. Alike in his virtues and failings he is so completely the product of a particular social and political system that we can see in him, what happened to the Roman republic and why (…). The military and political detail is skillfully interwoven with the narrative. The management of the plot is masterly, complicated in construction, simple in presentation, exciting and full of action.' (The Times Literary Supplement). € 9.00 (Antiquarian)

DUGGAN, A., Julius Caesar. Faber and Faber, London, 1966. 171p. Cloth wrps. Initials stamp, date and personal library mark on free endpaper. Alfred Duggan gives a lucid summary of the political position in Rome before Caesar came to prominence, setting against a constantly changing background the story of his rise to Consulship, of his brilliantly successful campaigns in Gaul and Britain, of the defeat of Pompey, and the crossing of the Rubicon which made him master of all Italy. As, with each successful campaign, his power increased, so did the opposition towards him grow, until there came at last the dramatic conspiracy and the assassination. A masterly picture of Caesar and his times, showing not only Caesar's great qualities as a leader, but also something of his life and character.' (Publishr's information). € 10.00 (Antiquarian)
