Do you guys know of a good book to read that provides a general overview of Roman history? I'd never gotten into learning of it and I don't know where to start.

Seems like a slog from a flip through. What do you think of it so far?

They really don't make life easy for you. They have almost no examples. But the way to get a feel for a topic in maths is to do loads of examples WITH THE ACTUAL NUMBERS. Hardy & Wright obviously consider that as a bit plebian.

That's OK though. It just forces you to make up your own example questions and then answer them. Probably builds character, or something.

Another one like H&W that I'm working my way through slowly. Well worth the effort. You can practically feel the effete modernity in your system shriveling up and dying at his approach.

I find it fascinating that something as basic, guttural and lizardbrained as looking at a picture and having feelinga about it can be subject to analysis that would not be out of place in math or physics. It is very dense tho, i only ever flip through to a relevant chapter when drawing, definitely not a 'main book' to read cover to cover
