Roman history

I recently finished reading Julius Ceasar's commentary on The Gallic War which was so interesting I quickly read through Goldsworthy's excellent biography Caesar: Life of a Colossus. Its one of the most interesting and balanced portrayals of the man ever written.

For anyone interested in Roman economic history, I also suggest this collection of research: The Ancient Economy, or a new post over at Brad DeLong on the end of Roman agriculture slavery.

Pliny's letters also broaden understanding of this very interesting period of history. Thanks for sharing.
