Cleopatra's Kidnappers: How Caesars Sixth Legion Gave Egypt to Rome and Rome to CaesarA powerful tale of war, romance, and one of history's most desperate gambles Julius Caesar was nothing if not bold. When, in the wake of his defeat of Pompey at Pharsalus his victorious legions refused to march another step under his command, he pursued his fleeing rival into Egypt with an impossibly small force of Gallic and German cavalry, raw Italian recruits, and nine hundred Spanish prisoners of war tough veterans of Pompey's Sixth Legion.
A powerful tale of war, romance, and one of history's most desperate gambles Julius Caesar was nothing if not bold. When, in the wake of his defeat of Pompey at Pharsalus his victorious legions refused to march another step under his command, he pursued his fleeing rival into Egypt with an impossibly small force of Gallic and German cavalry, raw Italian recruits, and nine hundred Spanish prisoners of war-tough veterans of Pompey's Sixth Legion. Cleopatra's Kidnappers tells the epic saga of Caesar's adventures in Egypt through the eyes of these captured, but never defeated, legionaries. In this third volume in his definitive history of the Roman legions, Stephen Dando-Collins reveals how this tiny band of fierce warriors led Caesar's little army to great victories against impossible odds. Bristling with action and packed with insights and newly revealed facts, this eye-opening account introduces you to the extraordinary men who made possible Caesar's famous boast, ""I came, I saw, I conquered."" Praise for Caesar's Legion ""A unique and splendidly researched story, following the trials and triumphs of Julius Caesar's Legio X. . . . More than a mere unit account, it incorporates the history of Rome and the Roman army at the height of their power and gory glory. Many military historians consider Caesar's legions the world's most efficient infantry before the arrival of gunpowder. This book shows why. Written in readable, popular style, Caesar's Legion is a must for military buffs and anyone interested in Roman history at a critical point in European civilization.""-T. R. Fehrenbach author of This Kind of War, Lone Star, and Comanches

Amazing product
I have just purchased my 7th jar! I absolutely love this product...and its American made! It leaves my skin soft, radiant and glowing! I didn't tell anyone about using it and people started asking me what I was doing differently. I get complements about my youthful glow! This company makes an amazing product and I hope that it will always be available! I have friends and family members hooked on it now. My mom just dropped a stocking stuffer hint to me tonight for another jar!

Legit balm. Not whipped. Made in USA.
Legit tallow balm. Not whipped. I love this stuff. It's the only thing that soothes, softens, and relieves my dry skin in the winter. Also made in USA, which is a priority for me.

Great winter moisturizer! Not greasy & absorbs well!
I needed a moisturizer that would last in colder weather. My skin is oily/normal and works well with my other facial products. I strictly use The Ordinary products and add this at the end to seal in the moisture. Pretty surprised how quickly this absorbed in to my skin. Has no scent and melts quickly on finger tips. I use it on my face and heels of my feet. Honestly love this addition to my fall/winter skincare routine. A little goes a long way! I have been using for a month now with great results. Definitely a great buy!

Great product if you can actually use it
Of the 4 orders I've placed for this lotion, only 2 have come perfectly. One of them came leaking tallow out of the container and package, and then it's replacement arrived with the jar completely shattered.
The tallow itself is so hydrating and smells great, but if the company itself needs to fix it's packaging.

May need to transfer to a different jar since the lids break
I am very happy with the product but a little bothered by the packaging. The lid is cracked and doesn't stay on. The fragrance isn't what I expected, but it is pleasant and a comforting smell.
