Calico Jesse<p>I found a nice hardcover book of Tacitus (Annals and Histories). It is from 1952, the Britannica/University of Chicago Great (Western) Books series. It’s a readable enough translation, although absolutely no footnotes or appendices.</p><p>Anyway, I’ve never read it, so my knowledge of the period is from listening to the History of Rome podcast a decade ago. </p><p>I might pop back to my used bookstore and see what else they have.</p><p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>History</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Rome" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Rome</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Roman" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Roman</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Tacitus" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Tacitus</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/HistoryOfRome" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HistoryOfRome</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/GreatBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GreatBooks</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Reading</span></a></p>

Stop co-opting all the stuff I like, problematic hetero dudes! 😾</p>
Calico Jesse<p>Been sick all week. But I managed to finish reading Mike Duncan’s Storm Before the Storm. It’s a fascinating look at the troubles of the end of the Roman Republic. The violent breakdown of the government process and rise of populist leaders and factionalism.</p><p>A good read. Highly recommended. </p><p><a href="https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/ed28b215-ee17-4a80-87e0-c039a5d49141" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">app.thestorygraph.com/books/ed</span><span class="invisible">28b215-ee17-4a80-87e0-c039a5d49141</span></a></p><p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>History</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Rome" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Rome</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/RomanRepublic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RomanRepublic</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Sulla" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Sulla</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/MikeDuncan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MikeDuncan</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/HistoryOfRome" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HistoryOfRome</span></a></p>
