Goose Guards by Terry Deary
387 BC. Rome is under attack from the vicious Gauls and the barbarian army is now preparing to besiege the Temple of Juno on Capitol Hill, home of Brutus, a trainee priest. The temple's inhabitants are offered help from the army of Lord Furius, but are not sure if he is to be trusted. However, when rescue eventually comes it is from an even more unlikely source...A tale based on one of the most famous of all Roman legends, full of Terry Deary's dark humour and dry wit.
