Hello All,<br>
I'd like to read some of the primary sources such as Polybius, Tacitus, Suetonis, and Vegetius but am not literate in Latin. What translations are the favorites of forumites?<br>
<br>
Also, I'm looking for a single book on general Roman history from start to finish (of western empire anyway). I've searched through some of the online book sources such as abebooks, amazon etc. and have found a number of titles (including textbooks) but don't know their quality. Any recommendations?<br>
<br>
TIA!<br>
