[QUOTE="Mikey Zee, post: 2167202, member: 72818"]I guess it's not surprising that many of us share the same interests in coins as well as literature----Ancient History in all its varied formats and subject matter. I have reread several of the books Bing listed and constantly reread Caesars Commentaries as well as a few others I enjoyed including: [U]Justinian's Flea [/U]by William Rosen---An account of the plague and its effects on the reunification of the Roman Empire. [U]The Day of the Barbarians [/U]by Alessandro Barbero The battle that led to the fall of the Roman Empire and Valens defeat and death. [U]Cleopatra [/U]by Jack Lindsey (Self-Explanatory); and [U]Augustus [/U]by Anthony Everitt (Self-Explanatory). Each reads more like a novel than a historical biography and holds your interest despite knowing the ending LOL And who hasn't read Suetonius??? Or Procopius??? I'll post a few coins a bit later---something has come up...[/QUOTE]
