The Best Roman History Books, recommended by Ross King
To write The Shortest History of Ancient Rome, bestselling author Ross King returned to the primary sources and the accounts Roman and Greek historians wrote about the city’s past. He talks us through some of his favourites, from Polybius—who wrote during the heyday of the Republican era—to Cassius Dio, who penned his magnum opus as the Roman Empire was on its decline.
