I'm looking for some books recommendations. I'm especially interested in the Roman army but Rome and Greece in general is fine.<br>
<br>
One that I've enjoyed (and believe to be fairly acurate) is<br>
"Warfare in the Classical World: By John Gibson Warry "<br>
<br>
I've heard good things about<br>
"Greece and Rome at War: By Peter Connolly "<br>
<br>
Are they very similar or are there enough differences to warrant a purchase?<br>
<br>
I saw "The Ancient City: Life in Classical Athens & Rome<br>
By Peter Connolly", and I have to say I'm tempted. Is it any good?<br>
<br>
Other books that I'm considering and would like opinions on are:<br>
<br>
1) Roman Warfare (History of Warfare)<br>
by Adrian Goldsworthy,<br>
<br>
2)Eagle in the Snow: A Novel<br>
by Wallace Breem<br>
<br>
3)Byzantine Wars,The<br>
by John Haldon<br>
<br>
4)Byzantium: The Early Centuries<br>
by John Julius Norwich<br>
<br>
5)Meditations<br>
by Marcus Aurelius-Modern Library translation (This one I'm especially concerned about. Is it an enjoyable read after translated? Interesting?)<br>
<br>
<br>
I'd appreciate any opinions on the above books as well<br>
as other recommendations you might have. <p></p><i></i>
