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

Too pricey compared to others
Size: 10.14 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Lotion is light and absorbs very nicely. It doesn't leave a white lotion look or make my skin feel slimy. A cple hrs later my skin still feels soft. For the price you would think it would have SPF. It seems like a nice lotion with good ingredients but it's only geared towards brightening and protecting the barrier which you can get in other lotions at a much lower pr that have SPF. I will see if my skin shows any improvement over my current lotion, but I am honestly not holding my breath on this one. My current lotion (Alozera) is a small brand loaded w/ ceramides, peptides, vit c, etc w/ a great price. I honestly tried this cuz my friend raves about but I think she is more impressed by other things vs results. This lotion has reg high molecular hyaluronic acid which protects the barrier but doesn't absorb deep into the skins layers which would plump up any collapsed structures that will lead to crepey skin. This is gonna add some length to this review but I started doing this hack a cple months ago and it really works great at a low cost.
Hack: buy a quality low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid in a powder. (They have on Amazon) Make small batches (5 days) with distilled water, and NEVER use rose water to make as they sometimes suggest on the label due to bacteria growth. It won't b thick like a serum allowing it to penetrate. You MUST apply it to damp skin (not soaking wet) cuz HA binds to water (called a humectant). Otherwise, you will actually pull hydration from your skin. After applying the LMHA to your skin immediately follow by your lotion-that will trap the moisture and lock in the plumping. Also, don't mix it with your lotion or you will cause bacteria and/or mold growth in the bottle. So 2 things they may suggest that u shldnt do-using rose water or adding it to your lotion. If you do this with a wkly AHA exfoliant you will c great changes within a cple wks.
I will follow up on this review in a cple wks after giving it a chance.

It's an okay lotion
Size: 10.14 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 10.14 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It can as advertised, it has no scent but it makes my skin smooth and soft but it's not moisturizing so it's best to use an oil after. It actually tighten my skin over time.

This product is the real deal.
OMG. This is the best skin care product I have ever used. I'm 61 years old and my skin was showing sun damage, dark circles, real wrinkles around my eyes, lips, and forehead. Basically, I was looking every bit of my 61 years.
About 30 days ago I started using this organic beef tallow with raw honey moisturizer in conjunction with a product to clear the pores on my nose. (That's a different review.) I will never go back to the 5, costly products I was using.
I was using a daytime moisturizer with SPF, a dark circle cream, a dark spot remover, a fine line product, and a night time resurfacing cream before trying this product.
That was a couple hundred dollars every 5 weeks or so.
Since starting this beef tallow and raw honey 30 days ago, my skin looks 10 times better. It's dewy but not greasy. My makeup looks good ALL day. My wrinkles are less noticeable and, I think, reduced in depth. My under eyes look so good. No more concealer under my foundation. In fact, I can go out and about with no makeup now!
This product glides on easily, no dragging or pulling. It never feels greasy. And it only takes about a marble sized amount for my full face, neck, and decolletage.
I use it morning and at night. So far, the little jar is still 3/4 full.
Amazing product. I will be buying more for sure.
Oh, one more thing. About 2.5 years ago, I had to have a mass removed from the left side of my neck. The scar was very noticeable. This cream is even improving that!
Try it. See if I'm wrong!
