the republic is the best era. read books on the punic wars or something. or even the decline of the republic, the triumvirate with caesar/pompey/crassus. before that with sulla/marius etc.
hundreds of years of rome BECOMING rome. not just a stagnant established rome. romans actually conquering territory, and not just scraping by to hold what better men gave them.

It's a series that covers Rome. This was the 1st of 7 books, I believe. I'm sure he covers everything that has to do with Rome, guy.
Reading this book and the detail he incorporated, I'm pretty sure the rest are dope.
