Just finished Antony and Cleopatra by Colleen McCullough thanks to members of this forum pointing out it was a continuation of the series. Starts off seeming not as good as the rest of the series but gets moving when Antony tries to invade the Parthians.
I have been on and off with reading the Random house version of The history of the decline and fall of the roman empire. Interesting stuff eg describes how many of each type of weapon eg bolt throwing scorpion of a certain size was in each legion from old days of the republic to the end of the empire (numbers change).
