Stupisce che questi quattro racconti di Scerbanenco non siano stati notati e ripubblicati prima d'ora, per la verità che portano, nonché la loro importanza di testimonianza su come fu vissuto un periodo storico. Forse perché furono pubblicati nell'unica edizione nel 1946, tempi difficili e fragili di passaggio. Forse perché la successiva fama di inventore della "Milano calibro nove" mise in ombra l'altra, importante, produzione dello scrittore. Sono racconti di guerra, ambientati negli anni feroci.

L'Impero che Marco Aurelio ha ereditato è giunto alla sua massima espansione e mantenere la pace che ha regnato sotto Antonino Pio è ormai impossibile: dopo la guerra contro i Parti, ora sono i Germani a minacciare Roma premendo da nord.Nel 167 d.C., l'Imperatore filosofo dà inizio alle guerre marcomanniche sotto auspici infausti e ben presto il suo progetto di stabilizzare i confini settentrionali si scontra con il leggendario furor teutonicus.
