The great courses lecture series have knocked 70% off their (quite high) prices of many dvds for a few days. For instance here is a search list of the keyword ROME, then you can click the sales box to limit it to the ones on sale. Unfortunately their super excellent "Greece and Rome: An Integrated History of the Ancient Mediterranean" isn't now on sale; maybe your library can order that. Of course, also google "thegreatcourses coupons"
