		<title>The 300 (Single-Disc Widescreen Edition) (2007)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Beware and enjoy; this is not your average critique&#8230; The 300 is the best movie ever fashioned by human hands. It is a spiritual experience that elevates the soul into the realm of the empyrean. Beneath the blood and gore of gaudy special effects lies a powerful message, the likes of which we will never [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roman Life and Times Series</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Paul L. Anderson wrote five books in the 1920s / 1930s known as The Roman Life and Times Series that are hard to find but worth the search. The original audience for these novels appears to have been high school and college students, but these solid adventure stories work well for adults. Anyone who likes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Imperial General: The Remarkable Career Of Petellius Cerialis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Who was Petellius Cerialis? Certainly not a household name, nor one that anyone outside of academic circles would have heard of. The Romans themselves wrote no stories about him, and aside from the odd mention in the sources we have left, he would seem a very insignificant character. Cerialis was however an important man in [...]]]></description>

		<title>L&#8217;Esercito Romano: Armamento ed Organizzazione</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While many have already written about the Roman army, and I&#8217;m sure many will do so again, this highly researched piece provides an enormous wealth of knowledge. Although currently only available in the original Italian version, and more of a gathering of information than a provider of much new insight, it does what it sets [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Alamanni and Rome 213-496: Caracalla to Clovis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In recent years there has been a growing interest in the Late Roman Empire. Fuelled to a large degree by an ever-increasing number of translations of primary sources, anybody interested in Late Antiquity is close to being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of scholarly publications being published. Furthermore, interest is not limited solely to aspects [...]]]></description>

		<title>Philip II of Macedonia: Greater than Alexander</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This book is a study of a man often overshadowed by the fame of his son. A man whose life was longer than his son`s, and much more difficult, who lived with permanent danger, a danger which finally manifested itself under the guise of a murderer. A man in fact who left little trace of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Augustus edited by Jonathan Edmondson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Caesar Augustus is a pivotal figure in the epic story of the Roman Empire, but one who is difficult to assess today. Some see him as a ruthless faction leader, others as a military dictator &#8211; a prototype Fuehrer &#8211; while yet others see him as a benign tyrant, or a patron of Rome&#8217;s rebuilding, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Art of Forgetting by Harriet I. Flower</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the days when Stalinism ruled Albania it was not uncommon to see official photographs in public buildings with faces scratched out. If you asked who the person was Albanians knew to respond &#8216;who? I don&#8217;t see anyone there&#8217;. So it was in Roman times. In this important study Harriet L. Flower explores the ways [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rome &#8211; Day One by Andrea Carandini</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The origins of Rome have never really caught the public imagination in the same way as the our preconceptions of the imperial period. Not without reason have the ideas of decadent excesses and crumbling empire inspired a century of Hollywood feature films. You might suspect this was purely out of ignorance, since the founding of [...]]]></description>
