Marvelous stuff. I'm generally not one to pick up a book of history. But I do love the way the O'Reilly series of "Killing" books renders history with a strong story that gives more detail on main figures in history and puts the material in the hands of a professional reader.
O'Reilly himself is a good but not first class reader of the books he publishes. But he was to smart enough to hire other guys to do that work.
I wonder if you have run across any worthy books or audios about the figures of ancient Rome you would recommend?
Cheers... And a meme to ponder. The Ancient Roman democracy fell into a dictatorship, so the word for government became basically Imperium -- or Empire.
