So fair warning, if you are looking for something that reads like an adventure or a novel, this might not be for you. But if you are interested in hard history, facts, and detailed account of the evidence, it is a decent book.

However, without reading it, I can't say for sure yet. I'll let you know once I'm done with it. It will be a little while. [ATTACH=full]614796[/ATTACH] In the past I've read 2 dozen books on Roman history ranging from the Republic through Constantine. However, I've never read or listened to books that specifically focused on the fall of Rome, so this is new grounds for me. I have to say the story of Rome's fall is so far just as interesting as its rise. One book that has nothing to do with this topic, but I read last month and highly recommend, is this one. If you are interested in the Fall of the Roman Republic , you can't go wrong with this. [ATTACH=full]614799[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
