It does sound a very readable and interesting book. I'm glad you weren't disappointed by it.

It really was. So much new information definitely did not disappoint.

Amazing to think people left written data so many years ago. I know nothing about this period so thanks for the rec.

My interest is usually a bit earlier in Roman history, mainly about the time of Julius Caesar, so there was a lot of new information. Luckily, the Romans are known for writing things down! 😉
