I think I'll skip this round.

 

Although the first book on Late Antiquity seems mildly interesting, and rather cheap.

I recently got Maty's book on the Gladiators. I pre-ordered it and it arrived this week, but I haven't got round to reading it yet. I'm curious about the book on Roman houeshold cavalry, and like Ursus i'd like to check out the introduction to late antiquity book.

Thanks for the links ! There are only 3 (yes THREE) books on Roman before the middle-ages at my library. Humph.

 

There were only 2 books on Ancient Rome in my local library, all written before 1980.

 

So I had to donate some of my own collection to get them up to date.

The Romanization of Central Spain one sounds intriguing to me...Hispania holds a particular note of interest to me, and I don't know much about pre-Roman elements. Might have to get that one!
