Hmm... almost all of my books are at home. I haven't read them yet, but I know there are <em>The Egyptian</em>, <em>The Etruscan</em>, and <em>The Roman</em> by Mika Waltari. Also on the to-do list is <em>Roman Wall</em> by Bryher.<br>
I recently read <em>Pompeii</em> by Robert Harris and it was a lot of fun. Maybe I'm biased because of all the naval action with Pliny and the Piscina Mirabilis at Misenum. It follows an aqueduct engineer for the three days leading up to the eruption.<br>
<br>
uts.cc.utexas.edu/~soon/h...besaw.html covers a bunch of different places and times.<br>
<br>
It's not Roman, but <em>An Instance of the Fingerpost</em> by Iain Pears (see <em>the Dream of Scipio</em> above) is great reading set in 17th century England. <p></p><i></i>
