sonic 42 Report post Posted September 5, 2015 OK, to be picky, the last title is wrong: no 'The' at the start. Apart from that, 'Pagans and Christians' looks interesting ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apart from that, 'Pagans and Christians' looks interesting ... ...well in that case your publisher has some explaining to do, i can see on the cover clearly a THE at the beginning!

guy 156 Report post Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) Yes, indeed. That last book listed by a certain Mr. Hughes looks especially interesting. I already have several of his books. He always creates an illuminating and enjoyable read about some nebulous times in Roman history. Strong work, Ian! guy also known as guy Edited September 6, 2015 by guy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legio17 12 Report post Posted September 10, 2015 At the moment, I would be most interested in the third book on the list, "Republican Roman Warships 509-27 BC." According to the book description, the author dwells on the Roman navy during the Punic Wars, which has been my focus of study for the last five years.
