Sources for Rome

Post by kturock »

I have all of the Savage Worlds, WW:Rome material. I'm looking for other material, tv, movies, books, audio books, games; that are pretty rue to history, but not a dry boring history lesson.
I just finished listening to Gates of Rome by Conn Iggulden. I have the "Rome" tv series qued up to watch. I see the "Hail Caesar" minis game by Warlord Games is on sale.

Suggestions?
Heh, I was called a Grognard. ;-)

There's the movie "Gladiator' of course, as well as "Caligula".

Spartacus.

Simon Scarrow's book series on Rome is quite good.

Asterix comics, while perhaps not true to life, are always worth a read. ;)

How about the Empire mini-series?

Taken from the Synopsis:
EMPIRE IS A SIX-PART HISTORICAL DRAMA SET IN ROME, 44 BC. FOLLOWING THE ASSASSINATION OF JULIUS CAESAR (COLM FEORE), THE FORMER GLADIATOR TYRANNUS (JONATHAN CAKE) IS CHARGED WITH THE PROTECTION OF CAESAR’S HEIR OCTAVIUS (SANTIAGO CABRERA) IN HIS STRUGGLE TO BECOME THE FIRST EMPEROR OF ROME.
