Chris Mills Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Hi all, I am a complete beginner when it comes to ancient Roman history but have always had an interest. I am looking for some books or perhaps online sources that are beginner friendly and do not assume much or any knowledge as my knowledge thus far is limited to Wikipedia pages that I hhave read, Warrior of Rome books and Rome: Total War haha! I am particularly interested in the Military and Political side, however, any books that also cover culture as well as these would be interesting too. Can you suggest any books for me to start out with? Thanks in advance, Chris. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked, but could you recommend any that would be relatively understandable? I was looking for something generic to start with.

Viggen Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 ...a good start to start would be Matyszaks The Roman Empire (Beginner's Guides) The author is member here and has a gift to write complicated things in a very understandable way... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
