The first three volumes take place in the Middle East and subsequent arcs are set around the Black Sea, the Baltic, Sicily, North Africa, and Italy.

The series has sold well, with Fire in the East selling over 100,000 copies and spending five weeks in the UK top 10 upon its release. Worldwide the series has sold over half a million copies. The series centres around the Angle Roman soldier Marcus Clodius Ballista as he must live through and survive the machinations of the Roman Empire and several of the crises of the second half of the third century AD. Sidebottom will write another series called Throne of the Caesars, the new trilogy will be set 30 years before the first Warrior of Rome book in the reigns of Alexander Severus and Maximinus Thrax (AD235-8).
