Well..."Eagle In The Snow" by Wallace Breem is pretty good.
There's not a whole lot (at least ficton) about Rome. Go figure.
Actually though, the Peter Collony series "The Legionary" and "Roman Cavalryman" follow the exploits of a certain Tiberius Claudius Maximus. His life was recorded on a tombstone which was found, and Collony wrote two (very short, about 60 page) books on him in story form with a LOT of great information included. Also, there are great Collony paintings on almost every page. These are great, and entertaining.
Entertaining enough to keep my attention at 8 years old when my uncle got me them for christmas (the beginning of the roman infatuation, lol)
