I read the whole series! It is a great read, despite the liberties with history etc. Sort of leaned me toward Roman re-enactment too :lol: :lol:

I'm not sure why you don't like Pressfields style? He is pretty good at creating an image in the readers head, and taking you there.

There are also books by Valerio Massimo Manfredi, 'Empire of Dragons', and 'Spartan', or Michael Curtis Ford's 'The Ten Thousand'
Visne partem mei capere? Comminus agamus! * Me semper rogo, Quid faceret Iulius Caesar? * Confidence is a good thing! Overconfidence is too much of a good thing.
