Yet unrest stirs in unknown lands as the tribes of mountainous Aquitania rise under a terrifying new leader and drive out their Roman occupiers.Marcus Falerius Fronto, exiled from Rome, seeks out his former commander in an effort to build a future and soon finds himself in command of a most unusual legion with a remit to restore peace in Aquitania. Accompanied by his friend Galronus and his closest companions, and as part of a deal with Caesar to help restore the Falerii, Fronto marches southwest to battle with mountain tribes who have remained largely untouched by Roman conquest and the revolt in Gaul.But sometimes the past casts long shadows, and Fronto is about to come face to face with enemies old and new; enemies who will bring him to the brink of destruction and force him to confront personal demons long buried.The legion is marching. The war for Gaul is over, but the war for Aquitania has begun. Review: Straight and True As A Spear - Fronto is indeed back, and as with all Turney's Marius' Mules novels, Fronto is the focus of a larger, fascinating world that rests lightly but firmly on history. This book has two main features that compliment each other to devastating effect: a spare and intense story of the simplest kind, the unrelenting pursuit of one man by another, and the larger story of these men's past. Turney weaves his characters into history so well that it seems that he has invented the whole of the ancient world just to support and surround them. It's always a surprise to me that something that seems so inevitable in the story's circumstances is actually true. The chase that Fronto is trapped in is so fierce and horrifying that it contrasts completely with the wide surrounding world that is this series' specialty. It's one of the most fast-moving and suspenseful novels in the series, and the most deeply personal and heartbreaking. Oddly, the very fact that this novel in the series holds much of Fronto's early history seems to make it a natural stand-alone novel, and a good entry point for a reader new to these wonderful books. Review: I great read, but best if read in order - A great read. My mistake was reading the books out of order. There are nine books in the series and this one closes the series out nicely. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,758,456 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #20,165 in Historical Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 2,396 Reviews | ## Images ![Marius' Mules IX: Pax Gallica - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717d2trgz5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Straight and True As A Spear *by P***T on October 3, 2016* Fronto is indeed back, and as with all Turney's Marius' Mules novels, Fronto is the focus of a larger, fascinating world that rests lightly but firmly on history.

My mistake was reading the books out of order. There are nine books in the series and this one closes the series out nicely. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great addition to "Marius' Mules" *by M***A on October 19, 2016* Pax Gallica is easily one of Simon Turney’s best books. It is relentlessly paced, the characters are well developed and the plot is thoroughly engaging, therefore all of this is likely to raise the price of his books, something that I am willing to live with. As Turney states, there is quite a bit of artistic license in this novel, but it is not gratuitous as it indeed “plugs the gaps” and we are left with a better understanding of Marcus Falerius Fronto, the primary protagonist in the “Marius’ Mules” series, as this book really delves into the events that served to shape Fronto. While I still feel that Turney’s characters drink far too much to come through as truly Roman, it is a flaw that I can live with. I will also add, with hope that my history professors don’t hold this against me, that the “Marius’ Mules” series is much more fun to read than Caesar’s “De Bello Gallico.” I happily recommend this book to any fan of historical novels. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.bo/products/33955384-marius-mules-ix-pax-gallica](https://www.desertcart.bo/products/33955384-marius-mules-ix-pax-gallica) --- *Product available on Desertcart Bolivia* *Store origin: BO* *Last updated: 2026-06-12*
