<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dafydd, post: 4091347, member: 86815&quot;]I can certainly endorse the Robert Fabbri books and it&#039;s fascinating how Fabbri interweaves the well reported characteristics of each of the main characters, for example Vespasian&#039;s parsimony. I&#039;ve read all of these authors as I am a prolific reader and prefer books to TV. I enjoyed all of the Simon Scarrow novels except I find them a little formulaic, I reckon Scarrow watched Batman as a child, Cato finds himself in an impossible dilemma but Macro rescues him and vice versa. I wouldn&#039;t want it any other way however. </p><p>Having read a novel by Christian Cameron last year in which an Owl is used and is mentioned several times, gave me an interest in acquiring an Athenian Tetradrachm although right outside of my scope of interest. I&#039;m waiting for prices to fall given the purported massive hoards found but that doesn&#039;t seem to be happening and is a subject for another thread. </p><p>I&#039;ve just read a fantasy novel by Sophia McDougall called Romanitas in which there was no decline of the Roman Empire and it is portrayed in modern times including modern day slavery. I&#039;m only mentioning this as I found it the worst waste of my reading time so far this year and I wouldn&#039;t recommend it. I think she must have been influenced by Harry Turtledove but doesn&#039;t quite attain his fiction.</p><p>You&#039;ve started a great thread DonnML - thank you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
