Hey wow, an e-book, pdf format.<br>
<br>
Of course I was first surprised that Mike knew about novels but then was then relieved to see that it was a book from Pineapple Pubs.. the Pubs part explaining (at least to my mind) how he might have learned about a non-scholarly non-scientific written work.. but then I found out that "Pubs" was short for publications.. well, now I'm befuddled.<br>

Thanks<br>
it sounds like a great idea.<br>
I always found Ammianus a fun read and Amida siege is an interesting passage<br>

Does this mean all my efforts to push good historical novels are falling on stoney ground? Eheu!<br>

The only pubs I go in are ones that serve scrumpy from the wood (there is a very nice one at the end of Lendel Bridge in York, which (it has been suggested) partly explains why my RB trips visit there;-).<br>
<br>
As for novels, I learnt far more about the Julio-Claudians in my formative years by reading <em>I Claudius</em> than I ever did from Scullard, Garzetti, or any of that ilk.<br>
