The novel by Rosemary Sutcliff adapted as a radio play by Felix Felton
with Marius Goring

Centurion Marcus Flavius Aquila had asked to be sent to Britain, because he felt that if ever anything became known of his father's Legion, the Ninth Hispana, it would be known first in Britain. They had marched off, five thousand strong, into the Scottish mists, and had never been heard of again.
