Sure! : ) If you're into Roman military stuff, then The Eagle of the Ninth is a good place to start. Frontier Wolf is also pretty great from that point of view. Moving to post-Roman times, Sword at Sunset is an Arthurian retelling which leans more towards history than fantasy.

Given my current fannish interests, I've mostly been reading her 17th century British novels lately. But whatever period she writes in, what I love about her is her beautiful prose, her detailed settings, and the slashy relationships, mostly of the brothers-in-arms or loyalty-to-liege-lord type, but also occasionally enemies-to-friends/lovers.

ETA: Since you're into military history generally, several of the 17th century ones might also be interesting: The Rider on the White Horse is set during the English Civil War, and Bonnie Dundee during the 1689 Jacobite uprising in Scotland.
