Yeah I know I am a history geek!  Well one of the only fiction books I enjoy is the First Man in Rome Series by Colleen McCullough.   This is a series of books that essentially started in about 110 BCE - 42 BCE (The rise of Gaius Marius to the after affects of the Assassination of Gaius Iulius Caesar).   Last week a close friend of mine emailed me and told me that McCullough just released a new book to the First Man in Rome Series - this one focusing on Anthony and Cleopatra!!! I couldn't believe it.  This will bring the series to the Constitutional Reforms of Octavian and his renaming to Augustus Caesar 27 BCE!

If any one enjoys historical fiction I highly recommend these works.  You have it all...sex, violence, wars, intrigue, sex, drama, historical backdrop and did I mention sex!  

The series are:

First Man in Rome
Grass Crown
Fortune's Favorite
Caesars Women
Caesar
The October Horse
Anthony and Cleopatra
