<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numisnewbiest, post: 3494152, member: 99613&quot;]I, too, bought Mary Beard&#039;s <i>SPQR</i> and have yet to read through it, but I absolutely love Mary Beard. If I ever win a ridiculous amount in the lottery, I&#039;m going to offer her whatever amount she would need to take me on a personal guided tour of Rome, Pompeii, and Herculaneum.</p><p>Her book goes well with the other handful of books on my desk that were put there so I see them staring at me every day, hopefully urging me to actually pick one up and read it through. The two I&#039;ve read the most are <i>The Letters of the Younger Pliny</i> and Suetonius&#039; <i>The Twelve Caesars, </i>many times each<i>. </i>Also on my desk are Anthony Everitt&#039;s <i>Augustus</i>, Annelise Freisenbruch&#039;s <i>Caesar&#039;s Wives</i>, Tacitus&#039;s <i>The Annals of Imperial Rome, </i>and Julius Caesar&#039;s <i>The Civil War.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
