Review: Yes Would Recommend - Must read for every man
Review: Sic transit gloria mundi. I didn't know Gloria was sick! - Statistically speaking, you're not a man if you don't think about the Roman Empire at least once a day. You don't need to like, ponder its economics, the hierarchical structure in the domus, or even military tactics. You could just contemplate the indoor plumbing. Or the fashions of the Roman man. Something as simple as "Wait how far out WAS the rubicon?" is enough to qualify. That said, getting this book is more likely to make you qualify as a man because you'll be thinking about the empire ALL THE TIME NOW. You're welcome.
