Is this group dead? If not, what are people reading?

Am reading Tacitus' annals and I now know where Stalin got his inspiration from having just read the piso affair to do with Nero.

I read Cleopatra: A Life by Stacy Schiff recently. Very good book that I highly recommend.

I also completed the Meditationsby Marcus Aurelius. I thought that was an interesting read as well.

I am reading Invisible Romans by Robert C Knapp. A lot has been written about the leaders of the Roman Empire, emperors, senators, writers and poets. However this book is about the other 99% of the population, the ordinary people, the landowners and the merchants. I am interested in social history and in the Roman empire so hopefully this book will satisfy both my interests.

Excellent. Glad this group is seeing some more action. Let's keep it going.

[Jack]

I have multiple interests so I hit Roman history periodically.
