Sir,
Thank you for your reply.
You seem to be well versed in Roman history. Arcane topics in Roman history.
Unfortunately, though I loved history, economics drove me to other pursuits in College. I don't bedrudge them, they allowed me to be where I am today, 60 and 5 years retired.
But, because I did not follow my love of history and I am not enrolled in college (nor anywhere near a College that offers a degree in Classical history) I have to rely on the library and book purchases to fill my reading needs.
I agree. It is unfortunate that all books are not available in every language, or that not all people read every language.
I was fortunate to live in Germany for some time and was able to visit many of the archeological sites, and just returned from 10 weeks in Eastern Europe, I wish I could just hop aboard an airliner and zip off to any museum as I choose.
Thanks again for your answer. It was very informative. I will, or course, continue my search.
Tom
