Virgil61 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 I'd like to find something along the lines of Augustus or Cicero by Anthony Everitt or Ceasar by Goldsworthy. They seem to be oddly scarce. I found Trajan: Optimus Princeps by Julian Bennett. I'll pass on the used paperback copies going for $137 to $250 (!) on Amazon.

I've been trying to look for a decent copy of Bennett's work at a decent price for a long time. No such luck. I own a copy of F. A. Lepper's "Trajan's Parthian War", which isn't bad. I've heard of another one, C.R.H Wildfeuer's "Trajan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaiseric Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 I'm actually looking for the hardcover edition. I live in an area that's quite damp during autumn and spring, so I have mould problems with my paperbacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortuna Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 The new Everitt biography of Hadrian has quite a lot of information on Trajan in the early chapters, at least. Perhaps he will move on to cover Trajan next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
