On the tip of the sword. Pisko V.N.

The Roman Empire, the middle of the 1st century AD. After the victories in Britain and the proclamation of its new province, Emperor Claudius transfers his attention to the east, to the shores of Pontus Eksinsky, where a new war is already ripening. Not so long ago, the Bosporus of the Bosporus Mithridates VIII, a descendant of the formidable Pontic king of Mithridates VI Evpator, hatches plans to leave Rome out of the custody of Rome and restore the former power of his kingdom. His intentions threaten the empire with the loss of control over the whole Taurita, and the only way to prevent this is to replace the uncontrollable Mithridates with the ruler loyal to Rome.

And there is such a candidate. This is the younger brother of the rebellious king - Kotis. But to fulfill this task, Claudius needs loyal and brave people, such as Guy Tullius Lukan and his comrades in arms, soldiers of the famous eighth legion of Augustus. Only they can restore the order convenient for the empire in the Bosporus kingdom with their sharply honed swords. Bloody battles on land and at sea, courage, betrayal and love - all this in the novel about the little -known war between Rome and the Bosporus "on the tip of the sword."
