Michael Grant Atlas Has any one used this Atlas and if so what did you think? I always like hardcover books for topics like this, but as can be seen at Amazon.com it takes your first born to buy.. The paperback is 'more reasonable'.

Digital interactive map Not sure if this site has been posted before. I spent a few moments getting totally confused by it but I think for someone more computer literate, it is a great resource.

I just finished - No Roads Lead to Rome.. via Kindle for the PC> I swear it read like a combination of the following movies: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Mouse (from Ladyhawk) conversational way and the Keystone Cops. It was a nice break from reading Antonina by Wilkie Collins, which is a such a serious book and written mid 1800's. (and it was a free Kindle for PC book).. So far I much prefer and actual book with pages you can turn.

...that would be me cheers viggen and it is now 6 books... (or maybe 9, does the 4 book series of She count as one book or four?)

who was it at this forum that posted about Kindle for the PC????? I downloaded it I think last weekend. I now have 5 books to read!!!! I am now reading Antonina by Wilkie Collins and No Roads Lead to Rome By Gompertz, one of our very own. It was so nice to find all 4 books in the She series of H Rider Haggard. I have never over the many years been able to find book 3 and 4. Thank you:)

Took a peak at the book via the link. It looks very interesting unfortunately I am not a book reviewer, rather just a book enjoyer. Will look for this book at Chapters.

thank you:) If you are using Mozila Please go to View --->Zoom-->Zoom In

Wow, I will defintiely be interested in Kindle then. Image: the 10 commandents!!!

I have added you book and Lord Mahon's book to my wish list. I had to be ruthless with my wish list- there were some books that actually said to me- delete or remove me from the list... you really dont want me.. and they were right:)

Empress Theodora, Augustus's poor maligned daughter - Julia. Seneca- to see if he is really like his letters. Marcus Aurelius - just because. I guess there is a plethora (??) of people I would like to meet.

is it just me or are the fonts smaller? For some reason I find the new format harder to read. and yes, I am older..........lol Is there a way I can change the size of the font for the whole site, just on my computer? Testing - size 4 would be perfect for me.

Love the cover picture and I am sure I will enjoy the book. I did Belisarius.

That's the one I meant. It's the only button I ever use really, don't have a clue how I should navigate the fora now. Looks like you actually need to go into the folders to see new posts? (unless you check in every day and use 'today's active topics'). At the bottom is Todays Active Content click on it and then you see the Active Content of the last 24 hours, when you are there go to the bottom there you can change in a drop down box from 24 hours to week, 2 weeks up to a year, hope that helps... cheers viggen I can do this... even though it takes a few clicks here and there.........lol

Please bring back the most recent post feature and last post date on the forums list. I really really liked this feature.

Sethra is Etruscan. When I wrote this, I was still very fascinated by Etruscans (still am but Rome claimed my time). I named her Sethra, in honour of her mother's ancestors in Etruria and I like the name. I think I was going to introduce more details of the names of the characters had I continued.

6-Mar-07 Fallen Hopes Sethra watched the sunrise; the sky turned from dark, dark blue to a wonderful rose, then a joyous orange. This matched her mood. Today she was 14, and her mother and father said they had a birthday surprise. Many of her friends were already betrothed or married, and she felt left behind. Hopefully, a future husband was the surprise. Her mother knew who she preferred first, second, third, as if this would matter. Pater was a rising client of an important patron, one who was actually in the Senate. Unfortunately her marriage would a political or commercial union. Father had already left the domus, and Sethra could hear her mother moving about. Her brother

I would like to see the finished product:). I like the idea. I have toyed with the idea of writing, but I get bogged down in my lack of knowledge of details of the Rome. The details are the background, yes, but make the story believable and interesting.

(Caldrail)This is not what I got from Virgil61's post. Machines come in various forms in various cultures - military, economic, societal. I think which machine is perferred can reflect the mental make up of the person and is not necessarily evil or bad. Anarchy is a machine as well.

thanks Ursus. I have added that book to my wish list.

How much choice would the 'pregnant' prostitutes have had in most brothels to which they had been sold?

I generally have no trouble finding books etc. I love the BBC's magazine Focus..

Chapters is having an instore sale.. Buy 3 books and/or magazines and the 4th one is free (of course it will be the cheapest one). I think the store deserves a visit:)
