Imperial General by Maty will definately be going on my list, sounds like a very interesting read.

 

The Caligula book sounds pretty good too, I'd be interested to see just how different a story the author tells.

 

A good selection of books this month Viggen!

It was certainly a fun one to write. I think the printers were caught out by how many pre-publication orders there were, so there's now a delay in stocks reaching Amazon. Who would have thought Petillius Cerialis had so many fans?

Yes I know, I've just been on to Amazon to buy the book only to be told that it's out of stock!! :angry:

 

He certainly sounds like an interesting kind of guy though, the kind of all out action hero that we see in the movies!

The book on demography sounds interesting, their are so many conflicting thesis on ancient demography that this book could usefully clear the issue, although it seems quite a technical book. Maritime archeology could be a fine read too, especially if well endowed with pictures of the wrecks (but the link seems to be wrong...). Maty's latest seems very interesting too, I'll probably order it whenever I got some funds (for, truly, spending more than 500
