I currently own the following
Roman Warfare -Adrian Goldsworthy (my first 'Roman' book)
The Fall of Carthage -Adrian Goldsworthy
Gallic Wars -Caeasr
Civil Wars -Caesar (or not)
Alexandrian and Spainish War -Caesar (or not)
The Complete Roman Army -Adrian Goldsworthy
In the Name of Rome _again Adrian Goldsworthy (I've read this many times)
Fighting Techniques of the Ancient World -Written by a lot of people http://www.amazon.com/Fighting-Techniqu ... 420&sr=8-1
Greec and Roman at War -Peter Connolly (newest version)
Solders and Ghost -J. E. Lendon (a professor right here in the ol' Virginia)
Lives of the Noble Romans -Plutarch
Meditations -Marcus Aurelius (I admit I've never finshed it)
Complete Letters -Pliny the Younger (surpisingly fun to read)
I plan on expanding, I'd love guidence as to a next book.
Oh and in college history when studying Rome, the one person the text book author always refenced to was Livy. I was fit to be tied, of all the primary sources about Rome why use Livy.
Tis all
