WotWotius Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 The Fall of the Roman Republic (Lancaster Pamphlets)David Shotter I would recommend the above title. Although it is nothing particularly dynamic, it is an excellent reference book, and I am currently using it for revision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursus Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Roman Sex: 100 B.C. to A.D. 250John Clarke Hot stuff! I just now placed an order for this one -- thanks for the recommendation, MPC! I have read this book, O' Cloudy Libidinous one, and I believe you shall enjoy it. My review is on the site if you are interested. As for listing 5 books, it would require more research. And perhaps some reenacting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursus Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Roman Architecture Rome on Five Denarii a Day. Empire of Pleasures (Hey, Mr. Dalby, can I get an autographed copy? ) Oh, that Meier biography on Caesar that MPC recommends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docoflove1974 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I have Empire of Pleasures on my list, as well as AD's Dictionary of Languages. As for others somehow associated with Rome or the like, the only one is: Cultural Identity in the Roman Empire by Dr Joanne Berry But...there's so much on there, both linguistic, personal (music, esp.), and 'other' (general whims). Oh, and a whole bunch of Asterix books! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephele Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Roman Sex: 100 B.C. to A.D. 250John Clarke Hot stuff! I just now placed an order for this one -- thanks for the recommendation, MPC! I have read this book, O' Cloudy Libidinous one, and I believe you shall enjoy it. My review is on the site if you are interested. As for listing 5 books, it would require more research. And perhaps some reenacting. A thoroughly absorbing review, o unbridled ursine one. "The book itself is basically a visual feast of some very explicit art pieces. The writing is clear and erudite enough. I highly recommend this work. I have seen no other work that places Roman sexuality in such precise terms. Whether you agree with Roman sexuality or not, you will be better informed on the subject." Precisely the book I'm looking for, for my reading at the beach. With all that healthy salt sea air, seems a perfect place for... um... inspired research. I was holding off on buying Ancient Rome on Five Denarii a Day, as I've been waiting for another review copy to turn up at the Strand. I picked one up at half price at the Strand before its official release date and, because it's set in the year 200 C.E., I was planning to compare it in review to my old favorite A Day in Old Rome (which is set in 134 C.E.). But a Romanophile author friend of mine had a birthday this month, so I sent it to her as a present instead. I've given up waiting for the Strand to get another copy, and have now ordered the book from Amazon. I did have a look at the review copy I had, before I sent it off to my friend, and it's brilliant. The book even lists ancient travel time by sea from various ports to Rome (for planning your ancient Roman holiday, in case you live in one of the provinces). The book quotes numerous primary sources, as well. Can't wait to get my hands back on another copy -- this time for myself. -- Nephele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
