Oh Civ, that was neat referring back to where the GGG name came from. Thanx!

I'm currently reading a 'narrative' history of Britain, and have just gone thru the Roman period. Your thread makes me want a good 'narrative' history of the roman empire. (I can only read good stories...if it's tooo dry I fall asleep! ;) Anyone have suggestions?

Tough call. I've enjoyed a couple, that I'll have to post to you later, because A) I'm at work, and B) I'm drawing a blank. :')

Have you read Colleen McCullough's series?

Thanks BTW for the kind remarks. Here are some titles I recommend:

Romans and Barbarians: Four Views from the Empire's Edge, 1st Century AD by Derek Williams	At Empire's Edge: Exploring Rome's Egyptian Frontier by Robert B. Jackson	The Jews in the Roman World by Michael Grant another edition

I recommend Colleen McCullough's Masters of Rome series. I believe it starts with "First Man in Rome." I've read all of them, seven as I recall, and enjoyed them very much.
