"Gore Vidal's telling of the Emporer Julian who tried to return the Roman Empire tp paganism after the establishment of Christainity. Vidal's best book."
"John James wrote novels set at the edges of the Roman Empire. Different from most historical novelists giving a highly indevidual slant to the Roman Empire."
"MacDonald Fraser's series about the cowardly Harry Flashman is a pure delight. He is also very knowledgeable about his period with his notes giving a great deal of information about Victorian Britain"
