Gens et Gloria cover, first part of the series
Leading Latinist Prof. Eleanor Dickey on Gens et Gloria – Principatus Novus

“This book is a fun read — definitely worth reading. The Latin is clear and easy without being unidiomatic, and the grammar is mostly right. Unlike most ancient Latin literature, it can simply be read like a modern novel: if you've got a reasonable knowledge of Latin, you won't need to look up words or think about the grammar. Overall, this book is an enjoyable read, and I recommend it.”
— Prof. Eleanor Dickey, Professor of Classics and Latin pedagogy, University of Reading
