I think it's great you've written this book. I've just starting readin fiction/non fiction about the period and find it all quite interesting. I've actually had your book on my list of ones to get.
Think it's easy for people who are hard core about this period (and that's not a bad thing) as can be seen by attention to details in recreations and such, to lose sight of the average person's interest.
Ancient Rome is probably not on many average person's radar, if historical fiction brings more people into the area, these people can decide how in depth they need to go.
As I'm only a recently joined member I'm probably a bit more towards the historical fiction end of things, I can appreciate the work going into the historical preservation found here and yet know that I'll never be a participant except in the most casual of ways.
Well done on the book Brian!
