- B1FF_PSUVM 5y agoI've sampled a lot of historical fiction set in classic Rome, and John Maddox Roberts is the writer who's closer to getting the 'flavor' right, to my mind. I mean in a sense of not letting modern issues, tastes and sensibilities leak into the classical (un-romantic) callous, deeply rustic, mindset barely dented by urban sophistication in large cities.
- FridayoLeary 5y agolet us not forget what must be the greatest work of historical, roman fiction: asterix. Incidentally, most of my knowledge of ancient roman culture comes from those comics. Also, an insight into european culture as it looked in the 1970s and 60s.
