Marius Goring in 'The Eagle of the Ninth' from the book by Rosemary Sutcliff adapted by Felix Felton
5—'In Enemy Country'
Production by David Davis
Disguised as a wandering Greek oculist (Demetrius of Alexandria) and his servant, Marcus and Esca came north of the Wall into the now abandoned province of Valentia, hoping to learn how the Ninth Legion had met its end, and, if it still existed, to recover its lost Eagle. After many months they met a hunter called Guern, who admitted to them that he had been a Roman Legionary of the Ninth, and from him they heard of the Legion's last days.
