Robert Graves wrote I, Claudius and Claudius the God about one of Rome’s more thoughtful emperors. These books can also be rented on tape. Colleen McCollough’s The First Man in Rome is an excellent introduction to the late Roman Republic. Another highly readable book is Marcus Aurelius. For fun, you can read the mysteries about Marcus Didius Falco by Lindsey Davis.
