1.Meditations (Penguin Classics)Meditations (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $8.00

Customer Review:
If you think you cannot have at the same time a complicated job and
peace of spirit, if you think your job is too demanding, if you think
your house is a chaos that inevitably makes your nerves explode...if
you think some of that, then you should read Marcus Aurelius more info

2.City of God (Penguin Classics)City of God (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
It took me about five months of off-and-on reading to slog through City of God--it was time well-spent. Here is one of the rare 1000-page books that not only deserved its length, but could have been longer.
What astounded me about reading St. Augustine was how relevant he is, even after 1600... more info

3.The Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of Rome and the BarbariansThe Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of Rome and the Barbarians
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
Most company failures come as a surprise to management and shareholders alike. The downdraft is often sudden and devastating -- think Bear Stearns -- but Peter Heather shows C-Level executives everywhere a new way to think about what can happen and the ways it can happen.
The collapse of Rome... more info

4.Caesar: Life of a ColossusCaesar: Life of a Colossus
from Yale University Press
Price: $12.24

Customer Review:
Prior to this Caesar biography we essentially had Shakespeare's version and, in modern times, Meier's as respectively the popular and definitive versions of Caesar's life. This new biography reminds us once and for all that Shakespeare's play is a dramatic butchery. And it makes by comparison... more info

5.The Early Church (The Penguin History of the Church)The Early Church (The Penguin History of the Church)
from Penguin
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
One might suggest that any short one volume history of the early Church is doomed to failure based on the magnitude of the project. That being said, this book in my opinion is more successful in accomplishing its task than any other of its type that I have encountered. Henry Chadwick now in his late... more info

from Penguin Classics
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
Okay, nothing bad to say about Livy, it would be like calling the sky or sun bad, but my gripe is with penguin's mercenary tactics (modern library too for that matter 1300pgs of gibbon but feel the need to split up Plutarch?), come on give us a break and start bundling these endless volumes of... more info

from Random House Trade Paperbacks
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
As a student, I only knew the basics of Roman history. Something about this book attracted me. This is an extremely well written, easy to understand history lesson on both Caesar Augustus as well as the Roman Empire. Everitt makes sure to explain every Roman or Latin term he uses. He covers all... more info

8.The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (Modern Library Classics)The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (Modern Library Classics)
from Modern Library
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
This widely acknowledged classic work of English literature should be required reading for any class on Ancient History. The story of the Roman Republic and the early years of the Empire are widely known. However, the slow death spiral beginning after the reign of Augustus is not nearly as well... more info

from Mariner Books
Price: $8.97

Customer Review:
I first read this book last summer and have been thinking about the similarities between the two empires ever since. Next February I plan to lead a study group using this book as a text. There are so many different issues that are similar like bribery, privatization to all the border issues. During... more info
