I'm into the section dealing with Romulus and Remus and thus far the book is excellent. I was a bit wary of the saga style narrative, but I'm enjoying it.<br /><br />Roman history is particularly interesting to me, so it was great to discover an author who writes about it. So thank you for talking about Mr. Saylor in your blog, I'd have never picked up one of his books otherwise.<br /><br />Hehe. Look at you influencing people's reading choices.
