<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 4086516, member: 81887&quot;]Here&#039;s a few classical-era-set historical novels I enjoyed that haven&#039;t been mentioned yet:</p><p><br /></p><p>-Robert Graves&#039; novels on Claudius (&quot;I, Claudius&quot; and &quot;Claudius the God&quot;) stick pretty closely to the original source material, and are well worth reading.</p><p><br /></p><p>-Mary Renault&#039;s trilogy on Alexander the Great (&quot;Fire from Heaven&quot;, &quot;The Persian Boy&quot;, and &quot;Funeral Games&quot;).&nbsp; Follows from the rise of Alexander, his incredible conquests, and finally the power struggle after his death.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruth Downie has written a series of Roman mysteries (the &quot;Medicus&quot; series) set during the reign of Hadrian, which I quite enjoy.&nbsp; Be aware that the books have different titles in the UK and the US for some reason, so make sure you don&#039;t accidentally purchase the same book twice under different covers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
