Hello there, I'm new forum member. I'm also long time history enthusiast, but one that has chiefly focused on military history. Having just finished Edith Hamilton's The Roman Way, and then Colleen McCollough's very well researched First Man of Rome series, I've become a neophyte enthusiast of the ancient/classical history in general, and Rome in particular. That is said so that I may say this: Please keep this thread going! Recommended book lists are just what many new or under-read folk (such as myself) need! So, please, those who haven't contributed, just list one or two of the books about Rome which you most treasure. It IS appreciated! I've already learned about Prof Symes The Roman Revolution from this thread, and it is now at the top of my list for new reading. Thanks! Steve
