Okay... (not a recommendation yet) Jacob Send a noteboard - 13/12/2011 06:51:53 PM
If there were something that covered the whole timeline of the Roman Empire that would be great. It would be okay if it concerned itself more with central Rome and the things that happened there, but I am quite interested in both the east and west imperial activities, expansions, governings, etc. as well.


But definitely more of the Empire period than the Republic period?

I know that asking for a single book that covers absolutely everything at something more than a surface level might be asking too much, so I'm willing to break it down a little into different topics and areas. But I feel that a general sort of understanding might be necessary to appreciate anything more focused. However, I'm willing to be wrong on that account.


They're out there, but harder to find good ones that are available. I have a few prospects, but I'll have to check my collection tonight. Sometimes the titles and authors tend to blend together in the mind.
