Meditations by Marcus Aurelius lists its setting as "The Roman Empire". Would this be acceptable to equate to Italy in Pool A for this task? Thanks!

Sorry answered my own question. No question for mod.

The Men's World Volleyball Championship takes place September 9 - 30. The countries in Pools A-D will compete with each other during Round 1 of the competition. Read TWO books, each set at least 50% in two different countries that are in the SAME pool. For example, you may choose to read one book set in Argentina and one in Japan (Pool A) or you may choose a book set in Brazil and one set in China (Pool B). A list of pools is provided in post 2 of the Help Thread.
Required: State the countries used when posting. If the setting is not obvious from the book's GRs main page, provide a link to reference for verification.
