I would also recommend Mike Duncan's recent book. The focus is mostly on Marius, Sulla, the Gracchi brothers, + all the other factors that set the stage for Caesar.

The music sample in the video, "Acoustic Picking 18" is also the intro and outro for Mike Duncan's most excellent "The History of Rome Podcast". See if you like it. He certainly got better as he got more experience(and better recording equipment)

Brutus was lending at usurious rates while serving his uncle (Cato) who put in charge of the administration of newly annexed Cyprus.

You’re wrong mate

Not gonna lie, I remember reading this discussion on both the AskHistorians subreddit and wikipedia. From wiki I found reference to this book which focuses on 1492-1715 on what is modern-day southeast USA. From the summary:

" Kelton shows that English commerce in Native slaves in particular facilitated the spread of smallpox and made indigenous peoples especially susceptible to infection and mortality as intense violence forced malnourished refugees to huddle in germ-ridden, compact settlements "

More like the fall of the Republic. The Storm Before the Storm. Folks who compare Trump to Commodus, just wait till we get our Sulla.

if it doesnt work let me know

I think it could be because when I chose Latin, I chose the most newbie difficulty or however it's called. That may give more assistance than if you say you're an expert already.

Regardless, this is the link of the Introduction page, and if you change "Introduction" with "Greetings" etc, that works too. https://www.duolingo.com/skill/la/Introduction/tips-and-notes

I read it long ago… You just gave me the want to read it again!

Pretty funny, yet instructive.

A similar book (in terms of tone) is

https://www.amazon.com/Roman-Guide-Slave-Management-Treatise/dp/1468311727.

It is written as if it was a « X for Dummies » book. Pretty funny, short read, not that detailed, but a good suggestion for someone not really knowledgeable about Roman slavery.

I am sure most of you already know of it but, just in case... On the subject of legions, this is a hilarious book that afaik is also well researched and it goes into great details as to how legions worked, ranks, roles, how they traveled... i enjoyed very much

They actually conducted many campaigns inside Scotland and had camps deep inside and then eventually finally decided it wasn't worth it. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07R7RW3R1/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?\_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

That is correct. His father learned a lot about Roman troop and governmental design during the 1st Punic War and passed that info to his son. Also, Hannibal was given the best education from Greek educators and slaves regarding all things art, war and Rome.

If you are interested to know more about pre-Columbian America I highly recommend reading the book "1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus" by Charles C. Mann. It's extremely objective (maybe a bit pro-Amerindian even, but it's barely noticeable).
