I've read all of Lindsey Davis's superb series set in ancient Rome, and this helped bring the three emperors (Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian) of the hero's time to life. Marcus Didius Falco is a Roman private eye ca. 79 CE, and these books are brilliant historical fiction, very funny, and imbued with the sights and smells of Rome then.
Thank you.
