Read Eagle in the snow a couple of years ago. Thoroughly recommend it. There may be mistakes in it but it is very well written and the end-of-empire atmosphere is quite compelling.
It is certainly in another league compared to the Simon Scarrow paperback novels, which are entertaining for a while but pretty empty.
What are people's opinions of Peter Connolly's classic "Greece and Rome at war"? I've had it for over 10 years now and still regularly refer to it. Are there any other books of the same class that any of you can recommend?
