Hello gents!

I was recommended a book-series by my close American friend. Namely the "Emperor"-series by Conn Iggulden. The series consists of 1. The Gates of Rome, 2. The Death of Kings, 3. The Field of Swords and 4. The Gods of War. The series tell the story of Julius Caesar, and combines both historical facts and fiction (to make it more dramatical).

These books made me dust of Rome: Total War once more (even though not that much dust had accumulated

)! So if anyone likes good reading and want to read about Rome -

for you!

Agree! The book also got me to play Rome Total War again!

Julius Caesar by Alexandre Dumas anyone?

Yeah. I'm actually re-reading that series, currently. Fantastic books.
Check out his other series, when you can. "Conqueror" is the title of it, it's about Genghis Khan. Evidently, there are four books now, so I need to find the fourth when I finish my pile of 8 or so books I'm wanting to get through.

Old and dusty books here at home called "History of the World" containing every historical fact (not in detail) of every timeframe

great series I've already finished 'The Egyptian empire and it's neighbours', 'persians and greeks', 'Hellenism and the old Rome' and now I'm reading 'The golden age of Rome' and can't wait to read the next book 'Hordes, the Byzantium and German (Frankish) empire'
