A history of the ancient world...

Posted July 9, 2002 3:30 PM.

So I was in Borders today, kind of looking for some kind of decent contemporary history of the Ancient World, because for some reason I never really managed to fit together some of the periods that I studied when I was more academically inclined, and it occurred to me that it might be nice to be able to answer some of the damn questions people ask me about (particularly) Roman civilisation. But they didn't have anything, so I left empty-handed...

... only to arrive back at my gorgeous computer to be confronted with the weblog of Julius Caesar - so entirely a great idea and so entirely an entertaining and well-designed site...
