Roma by Steven Saylor

4.0

This was a really great foray into Roman history. Every source I looked into while reading the book confirmed that the author has stayed accurate to what is known about ancient Rome.
Every chapter deals with a separate origin myth, political or architectural event. Most of the characters were real people (although a lot of sources now debate the existence of these historical characters). This book has really given me a good reference point and now I can investigate certain points of interest in greater detail.
