Julian ! A favorite of mine, though I haven't read it in years. A teacher in high school, noting my interest in Rome as we went through "World History", suggested it to me.
Ut vivat Iuliani anima.

Tiberius Dionysius Draco wrote:I'm currently reading "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed" (Dutch translation: "Ondergang") by Jared Diamond. A very interesting read about several ancient civilizations and what caused their collapse (or how they managed to prevent it). Some of the parallels with todays society are striking.
I'll be sure to check out "Guns, Germs and Steel" by the same author. There wouldn't happen to by anyone here who already read it? If so, feel free to share your thoughts on the book.
Valerius Claudius Iohanes wrote:Salve, Aelia Cleopatra - Thanks for the note on the Junkelman book. How does the title translate into English: "Gladiators - the Speech with the Death" ??? or, "Gladiators, Talking with Death"????
