At last, the mystery of the lost eagles revealed!
Deep within the heart of Egypt, there is unrest…and Antonius and Achillia have stumbled right into the middle of it! On the hunt for the Roman Empire’s missing banners at the behest of Emperor Nero, history’s first detective and his fearsome gladiatrix companion find themselves on the brink of many revelations: Who is responsible for the plagues threatening their Roman brethren? And who is this new revolutionary calling himself Pharaoh?
Legendary writer Peter Milligan (Detective Comics) and visceral artist Robert Gill (BOOK OF DEATH) close Antonius Axia’s most incredible case yet as the final chapter of “LOST EAGLES OF ROME” is revealed!

Quotes[]
- For someone who prides himself on his power of observations...you've suddenly become very stupid.
- -- Achillia
- It's a pity you didn't think of that earlier.
- -- Achillia
- As a mark of thanks, your emperor will spare all prisoners due for crucifixion today. Except the dirty slave who passed wind at my statue. That dog really deserves to die. Most horribly. With my specially-trained giraffes.
- -- Emperor Nero
- Tempting. But I think I know where that might end. Bed. Love. Maybe even marriage. I've only just won my freedom, detectioner... I am not anxious to give it away so quickly...
- -- Achillia
- What wonderful powers of deduction you have, detectioner. Of course I'm damned well angry!
- -- Rubria
- I wanted you to fail to find the eagles so the tyrant Nero would fall!
- -- Rubria
