The Hispanicus: A roman of Noega
Before Gij n was Gij n, Noega was already gazing out to sea beneath the shadow of Rome.
At the northern edge of Hispania, where the Atlantic wind lashes the coast and the ancient Asturian roots still pulse beneath the mud, one name begins to make its way through families, the Legio VII Gemina and destinies shaped by the Empire: Lucio Aelio Longo.
A Roman of Noega takes us to a different Rome. Not the Rome of marble, forums and grand speeches in the Senate, but a Rome of iron, mud, family blood and everyday honour. An Atlantic Rome, a frontier Rome, a deeply human Rome, where every alliance carries weight, every decision leaves its mark and each generation inherits more than a name.
Set in ancient Noega, in the area of Campa Torres, this novel vividly recreates daily life, the military world, family tensions and the encounter between Rome and the Asturian world in first-century Hispania.
A story of roots, loyalty, memory and legacy, written for readers seeking historical fiction with a soul: rigorous in its setting, swift in its pace and close to its characters.
The edition includes maps, a glossary and an extensive historical bibliography, designed to accompany the reader on this journey through Roman Noega and help them find their bearings in a world where History still breathes beneath the earth.
Presented in various cultural spaces, including the Archaeological Museum of Campa Torres in Gij n, A Roman of Noega rests on a carefully researched historical and archaeological foundation, bringing to life a Roman Hispania rarely told: the Hispania of the north, of the sea, of the frontier.
The first volume of The liad, a saga about Rome, Noega and the children of a land suspended between the Empire and the ocean.
