Anyone remember these books?

[Harold Mayo]

I'm trying to find a series that I never actually read but that piques my interest now. Can anyone remember a series from the 80's or early 90's whose "hero" was the Roman soldier who stabbed Christ in the side? The series revolved around the soldier, who was cursed to be immortal, and his adventures throughout history (as far as I understand). I have no idea of the quality of the series or the author or anything else but, after seeing the movie "The Seventh Sign" again, it came to mind.

Series called "Eternal Soldier"

the soldier was originally named "Casca" or something very close.

I never read them. Can't remember the author.

The protagonist of the book may be immortal, but this thread isn't. OT.
