Caine Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Fifty Key Classical Authors - by Alison Sharrock and Rhiannon Ash. This book goes over some of the famous authors of literature all the way back from Homer up through Livy and Caesar and on to ancient historians from Trajan and Hadrians times. It gives a brief synopsous of their works as well as a biography and back ground to their influence. Livy: Dawn of the Roman Empire (Books 31-40) - J. C. Yardley Covers the period including the the after mat h of the Second Punic War, Macedonian Wars against Philip, Rome and Antiouchus III, and the Third Punic War with Cato's Censorship. Plutarch: Roman Lives - Robin Waterfield A translation of Plutarch's biographies on famous people in Greece and Rome. The the original book has alot more, but this book deals with just some of the major figures in Rome(Cato, Aemillius Paullus, Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus, Marius, Sulla, Pompey, Caesar, and Antony) Hannibal Enemy of Rome - Leonard Cottrell A great book going in great detail fallowing Hannibal and the second punic war. There is alot of information relayed about Hannibal, and the Carthaginian Army, the war in Spain with the Scipios, the Invasions and battles in Italy, and of coarse Scipio Africanus in Africa. Scipio Africanus: Greater then Napoleon - B.H. Liddell Hart This book is about the great Roman general who defeated Hannibal at Zama. It goes through his early role in the Second punic Wars, as well as what he did after Hannibal's death (The Wars in Macedon). This book goes really deep into his generalship and military abilities. Julius Caesar: Man, Soldier, Tyrant - MajGen J.F.C. Fuller Another biography of Caesar's life, and mostly his career and military exploits. Also includes quite a bot of background to the whole situation in Rome (Mithridiaic Wars, Macedonian Wars, Spartacus, etc.) The making of the Roman Army: From Republic to Empire - Lawrence Keppie Basically a guide to the creation and changes of the Roman Army. All the way back from the original establishment under the kings, through the Republic and the reforms by Scipio and Marius, its roles in all the wars, and into the Empire until its fall. For those looking for information on specifics about the Roman military, this is a great start Caesar Against the Celts - Ramon L.
