Thank you Brian. Tacitus and Livy are both great as well. I find Tacitus more engaging than Livy, but I've only read Livy in excerpts, so I might be biased.
I like your review. I've been debating whether to read Gibbon, Tacitus, or Livy. I don't think I want a "scathing" take on the Romans, so I think I'll go with Tacitus, then Livy. Thanks!
