The lost legion after the battle of carrhae

[TEB]

Can any Du community members recommend actual reading material historical. The only book I found online was historical fiction I have been reading anything I can find about this lost legion whose survivors may have ended up in China ,I find it truly fascinating thank you.

1. The Wikipedia page has a bunch of info in it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Carrhae

Probably not what you're looking for, but there's attribution links at the bottom of the page - might give you an idea about what books have been written about it?

3. You may have already seen these links but they look useful though not as

comprehensive as you'd like.

5. Is the book of historical fiction you mentioned 'Empire Of The Eagle', by Andre Norton

and Susan Shwartz?

I've tried reading it several times, but have been unable to finish it. It was the first time I ever heard of the myth of the 'lost legions'.

9. Genetics seem to debunk this legend.

Like most “ancient mysteries” the myth of the lost legion in China appears to be two parts fantasy and one part supposition.
