The book "Ancient Rome: From Romulus to Justinian" by Thomas R. Martin is a comprehensive guide to the history of ancient Rome from its mythical foundation by Romulus to the reign of Justinian the Great.

The book "Religions of Rome" by Mary Beard is a real treasury of knowledge about the beliefs of ancient Romans, as well as an attempt to look at Roman religion from a different perspective.

The book "Last Days of Pompeii" by Edward Bulwer-Lytton - an English writer from the 19th century - is certainly an interesting position. The author, who worked as a writer, also dabbled in politics on a daily basis.

The book "For the Glory of Rome: A History of Warriors and Warfare” by Ross Cowan is a position showing the military aspect of the Roman army and trying to present the Romans as individual warriors who fought duels with the enemy, not an organized war machine.

Mr. Peter Brown once wrote a book "The World of Late Antiquity", in which, despite its small size, he presented the last stage of the long and beautiful ancient era, which stretched from about 200 CE (i.e. the time of the historian Cassius Dio) until the turn of the VIII and 9th century CE (times of the reign of Caliph Rashid Al-Harun of the Abbasid dynasty), which is a bit further than the subtitle of the book suggests.

The book "Daily Life of the Etruscans" introduces us to the forgotten Etruscan civilization.

The book "The Darkening Age: The Christian Destruction of the Classical World" by Catherine Nixey is a position that attempts to show Christianity in the ancient world in a slightly different and more controversial way. The author boldly presents her view on the role of Christianity in the fall of Rome and ancient culture. The book was published by the Filtry publishing house, which publishes items encouraging social discussion on many controversial topics.

The book by Angelo Alberto "A Day in the Life of Ancient Rome" is another interesting proposition for people who would like to get to know the everyday life of ancient Romans in an accessible and interesting way.

The book "A history of Attila and the Huns" by Edward Arthur Thompson was written in 1948 and aimed to bring the history of the Huns closer and tell the relationship between the Roman Empire and this warlike and nomadic people in the years 370-470 CE.

The book "Augustus. Godfather of Europe" by Richard Holland is a position focusing on the figure of the first Roman emperor, his rise to power, reign and attempt to establish a successor.
