Six episodes chronicle the lives of a family in Roman Britain over three hundred years. The Capricorn Bracelet began as a series of radio scripts Rosemary Sutcliff wrote for the BBC. She later expanded them to form six stories.
The bracelet of the title is passed down through successive generations of a Roman military family serving in northern Britain. Each story is told in the first person, and centers on one significant event: the destruction of a city, a new leader assuming command, a Saxon coastal raid. |
