Colleen McCullough's books
The First Man in Rome,
The Grass Crown,
Fortunes Favorite,
The Women of Caesar,
Caesar, and the
October Horse are some of the most intriging and detailed roman books i have found. She has imensly developed charaters and a deep knowledge of the roman as a people. I suggest everyone at least read first man in rome.(sorry for spelling)
