The Loeb series have a large range of translations with the original Greek and Latin texts, while the Penguin series offer English tranlsations without original texts, suffering though from the fact that they can be abbreviated and often lack clear indications of the divisions of the original which can make it hard to pinpoint references. An easy way to get translations is to use the internet, though the quality of translations differs greatly from good to what can be more precisely described as interpretations. One useful overview can be found here. The Perseus project offers a number of translations from Greek, while other notable online tranlsations are those of Cassius Dio and Polybius.<br>
