Could you recommend a historical fiction book that’s set in ancient Rome? I’m interested in reading something immersive that combines accurate historical detail with compelling characters and a strong plot. Bonus points if it includes aspects of Roman culture, politics, or military history.
Absolutely! Robert Harris' "Imperator" series, which begins with the book "Pompeii", is an excellent historical fiction series set in ancient Rome. The series focuses on the life of Marcus Cicero, a renowned statesman, and provides a detailed portrayal of Roman culture, politics, and military history. It's a well researched and compelling series that's noted for its historical accuracy.
