Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Rosemary Sutcliff historical novel published in 1954 about a young Roman soldier named Marcus Flavius Aquila who goes on a quest to find the eagle standard of his father. It is loosely based on the mystery of the real Roman Ninth Legion, which disappears from the historical record after having last been mentioned as present in Scotland in the early 2nd century. This book sets up later novels featuring descendants of the protagonist. The 2011 film The Eagle is based upon this novel, but the earlier (1977) BBC TV series (titled The Eagle of the Ninth) is a more faithful adaption (perhaps because the 2011 film omits some characters and events for the sake of brevity). |
