Historical roleplaying games?

[CenturionDecius80]

Any suggestions for historical roleplaying games set in classical or late antiquity?

Has anyone tried Basic Roleplaying [d100] "Rome: The Life and Death of the Republic"? It's before the periods I'm most interested in, but it's got good reviews.

I own the BRP Rome: The Life and Death of the Republic and the GURPS Imperial Rome books. The GURPS book is an excellent source of broad introduction material to help any campaign. As for the mechanics, GURPS is not something I've played. I only use their books for information.

The BRP game has similar overview material which is really good. The author of the book has gone to great lengths to provide accurate details. In fact that author, Pete Nash, has put out some quality historical role playing supplements in the past. The mechanics are pretty easy and fun. I highly recommend it.
