The Eagles of Rome by Enrico Marini is an example of the great historical fiction comics the European comic scene has to offer. This is my review.

One of the things I love about European comics is the number of great historical fiction titles available. So, I thought I share a review I did of one of my favorites: The Eagles of Rome. 

The Eagles of Rome, by Enrico Marini, is set in the The Roman Empire in the first century AD, during the reign of Emperor Augustus. Rome is seeking to expand its boarders into Germania. Towards this end, a young Germanian prince has been sent to Rome to be fostered as part of a peace agreement with the Cherusci tribe. To his people he is Ermanamer, but the Romans have given him a new name: Arminius. Arminius has been sent to live with Titus Valerius Falco and his son Marcus. The comic follows Arminius and Marcus as the grow into men and join the legion. As they grow, Arminius finds himself increasingly drawn to the land of his birth. Marcus and Arminius are going to find themselves on opposite sides of a great conflict. In time it will be known as the Battle of Teutoburg Forest. 

The Eagles of Rome isn’t finished yet, as Marini writes and draws the comic all one his own. There’s usually a few years wait between volumes, but it is totally worth it. Marini takes his time to ensure a quality comic. The comic is illustrated in gorgeous watercolor paintings, and you can tell Marini puts lots of love and care into his artwork. 

The historical accuracy is rock solid as well. A few events are shifted around to make for better story flow, but otherwise it is all perfectly accurate to the historical record. The biggest bit of artistic license is that Marcus and his family are totally fictional. They’re mostly there to give the Roman perspective on things. Funnily enough, DC did this thing a few years back where they hired European comic writers to make comics based on iconic DC heroes. Marini wrote a Batman comic, and he drew Bruce Wayne almost exactly like Marcus. 

There’s also little details that add to the historical accuracy. Statues and buildings are covered in vibrant colored paint, just as they were in Roman times. We also get to see the seedier parts of Rome and how, if you were poor, living in Rome was like living in a third world country. 

I don’t know when the next issue is coming out, but I can’t wait to see what happens next. Have you read The Eagles of Rome? If so, what did you think?

Have you ever heard of Eagles of Rome by Enrico Marini? I always thought the character Marcus Valerius Falco is what a younger Tullius might have looked like.

//I've never heard of it but yo, that Marcus is a babe and he's even got those super arched brows that Tullius has as well. So ya I could see him looking similar to him

A bronze eagle, perhaps ready to take flight. Roman, 2nd century CE. Eagles were considered the most majestic birds by ancient Romans, and featured on the standards of legions. Being named the Aquilifer, or eagle-bearer, was one of the most prestigious positions a member of the legion could attain.
