Yes — he did fantastic (award winning) narrative history books for whole Caesarian Roman story (it’s aptly called ‘Rubicon’…)

And then he did one for the rise of the Persian empire, and then he did a final one for the rise of the Christian kingdom, I think (I have it, just not actually LOOKED at it yet).

The Roman one is probably the best… but I am perhaps a bit biased, what with it being such a colourful period of history.

What other bits of your body do we get to feast our eyes upon…?

Recommend?<br /><br />The Trojan War.. like most wars.. is highly glamourized. It's likely that it DID happen, but that it didn't last for 10 years, it wasn't about a woman but trade agreements, and it was more brutish hoplites poking at one another than brave heroes and gods dueling to the death. <br /><br />But I have to say I like Homer's version better. Greece without the romance is no fun. I want to live in Homer's Greece, but not actual Bronze Age Greece.<br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed the tattoo, Seb. ;) I haven’t read Tom Holland, no. Recommend?

Sorry, did I say that out loud?

I had no idea so many big players were involved in the Trojan myths… jesus. No wonder it’s so well known!

Must’ve been one hell of a period to live through.

Have you read the narrative history books by Tom Holland?
