Ancient Rome by Christopher S. MacKay

4.0

Wholly informative and exactly what I wanted it to be: a broad overview of the Roman Republic and Empire. It portrays a thousand years' history through the empire's many ups and downs, allowing for deeper exploration of key leaders, while keeping the larger narrative at the forefront. It works best when looking for a few interesting facets that you follow up on later. For example, this spurred my subsequent love for Diocletian.
