Thank you all for your most welcome contributions.
Viventius, a great set of links, I checked each one of them. You've brought to my attention some new authors previously unknown to me, thank you. Do you know of any more?
Graham, I havn't seen the old silent version of Ben Hur, was it good? How about "Demetrius and the Gladiators", the sequel to "The Robe"? Does that also feature in your list of favourite films? I have both on video.
Apart from your wonderful pictures, have you also painted model soldiers like Jasper, who does it so well?
Jasper, I think I would run away too rather than be a galley slave.
Christoph, another very useful link. I havn't read "Quo Vadis" although I have it too. Are the Lion Feuchtwanger's Flavius Josephus trilogy good, it's a pity they havn't been translated into English.
The books that I would like to bring to your attention today are all by Lawrence Sprague de Camp, and they are:
An Elephant For Aristotle - Curtis Books - 1958
The Arrows of Hercules - Curtis Books - 1965
The Bronze God Of Rhodes - Bantam Books - 1968
The Golden Wind - Curtis Books - 1969
Lest Darkness Falls - Sphere Books - 1979
Happy hunting and reading.
