[QUOTE="willkerrs, post: 3084019, member: 95456"]Thanks, [USER=84744]@Severus Alexander[/USER]! I've not read those novels, actually. I'm going to read my way through Appian over the summer, though. By way of background and introduction, I'm a student of History, not Classics and Ancient History, so I don't get to spend much of my time reading classics. I happened to do a module focusing on the Roman Republic ~270 - 30 BC and fell in love with it, so now I collect Republican Denarii. I've read through all of Sallust (hence the first coin I got was the F. Sulla 'Capture of Jugurtha') a bit of Appian, Livy, and Polybius. (Also some bits and pieces of Plutarch's lives and, for my interest, some of Cicero's philosophical works). I know nothing of Rome after 30 BC (well, not until the early 20th century where I pick up on my field, political violence). I also took a module on Alexander the Great, so I've read all of Arrian, Curtius, and Plutarch's works on Alexander, as well as bits of Diodorus, and Justin.[/QUOTE]
