Pam, I think Meir's book is just called "Caesar." In any case the praenomen and nomen Marcus Tullius belong to the politician/statesman/writer whose cognomen...
We'll, I just ordered a slew of books online. Not sure if the list has read any of them. If not, any of them could represent suggested additions to the "to...
Hi Jack, I know Meier's book is Caesar. I have it. The other to which I referred was a series by Conn Iggulden called the Emperor series\. The books are...
Scullard's A History of the Roman World 753 to 146 BC If we were feeling ambitious, how about the first three volumes of Gibbon's Decline and Fall? The last...
