There is no better way of learning about Ancient Rome than to go the historians who lived in it. It will be very surprising to those not accustomed to reading ancient authors how approachable Livy's books are.

2.The History of Rome from Its Foundation: Rome and Italy Bks.6-10 (Classics) by: Titus Livy May 27, 1982
