Interested in Ancient Rome? I went through a phase where I was some what obsessed about it. I thoroughly enjoyed The History of Rome podcast: http://thehistoryofrome.typepad.com/ http://thehistoryofrome.typepad.com/ Also of note (less historical, but still brilliant imho), the HBO (fictional) series Rome: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0384766 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0384766

Rome is fantastic. I loved that Titus Pullo and Lucius Vorenus are actually mentioned in Caesar's Commentary on the Gallic Wars (obviously very fictionalized in the show)

Death Throes of the Roman Republic (Which is now in their paid archive) is an excellent guide to the time of Caesar. About 11 minutes into to episode 1, most people buy into listening to the whole thing: http://dancarlin.com/dccart/index.php?main_page=product_music_info&cPath=1&products_id=222 http://dancarlin.com/dccart/index.php?main_page=product_musi... http://dancarlin.com/dccart/index.php?main_page=product_music_info&cPath=1&products_id=223 http://dancarlin.com/dccart/index.php?main_page=product_musi... http://dancarlin.com/dccart/index.php?main_page=product_music_info&cPath=1&products_id=224 http://dancarlin.com/dccart/index.php?main_page=product_musi... http://dancarlin.com/dccart/index.php?main_page=product_music_info&cPath=1&products_id=225 http://dancarlin.com/dccart/index.php?main_page=product_musi... http://dancarlin.com/dccart/index.php?main_page=product_music_info&cPath=1&products_id=226 http://dancarlin.com/dccart/index.php?main_page=product_musi... http://dancarlin.com/dccart/index.php?main_page=product_music_info&cPath=1&products_id=227 http://dancarlin.com/dccart/index.php?main_page=product_musi... I'm sad they're not free anymore, but I remember the drive back from the trip while I listened to them better than most of the trip years later. It starts a good bit before Caesar. The details about how the country transformed due to different stresses is fascinating, and the commentary on Caesars actions and his writings is particularly memorable.
