While we are enjoying The Iron Hand of Mars and The
Sand-Reckoner, both easy reads in this holiday season as always, here is a reminder that there is more serious stuff ahead in January/February, the continuation from 2008:
The
Beginnings of Rome: Italy From the Bronze Age to the Punic Wars (Circa 1,000 to 264 B.C.) by T.J. Cornell
Chapter 11 through the end, from The Twelve Tables through Rome in the Age of the Italian Wars, in the fourth and third centuries BCE.
We all remember that it is rather dense reading and I will try to blog as much as I can to assist, and hope N.S. Gill will join me …
