    I was also fascinated by the history of ancient Rome, and I read the following books in turn:

    r. h.Barrow: The Romans.

    Caesar: Gallic Wars and Civil Wars.

    Suvetonius: The Twelve Emperors of Rome.

    Gibbon: History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

    Richard Jenkyns: The Roman Legacy.

    Shiono Nanayu: The Story of the Romans.

    But let me choose now, I'll use this order:

    r. h.Barrow: The Romans.

    Shiono Nanayu: The Story of the Romans.

    Caesar: Gallic Wars and Civil Wars.

    Suvetonius: The Twelve Emperors of Rome.

    Gibbon: History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

    Richard Jenkyns: The Roman Legacy.

    r. h.The Romans of Barrow is a great little primer that could be read in an afternoon.

    Shiono's Tales of the Romans is a set of 15 books, but it is also the easiest to read, and the content is very rich and extensive, so it can be said that after reading this set of books, you will have a very detailed understanding of the politics, military, diplomacy, court life and culture of ancient Rome.

    However, the author is not a professional scholar of Roman history, so there is a lot left out of it.

    Caesar's and Gaul's Wars, Civil Wars, and the Twelve Emperors of Rome by Suvetonius are written by the ancients and are first-hand sources, but it is best to read other general histories (such as The Tales of the Romans) before reading them.

    I also have Plutarch's Greco-Roman biography at hand, which is even more exciting (though I haven't finished reading it).

    Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire is a monumental work, I don't think it's suitable for beginners, and some of the narratives in it are not up-to-date (17th and 18th centuries).

    Richard Jenkyns' The Legacy of the Horses is also a good book, but I recommend reading it after you have a thorough understanding of Roman history.

    1. Greek history, reading Rome can not help but bend to Greece, most of the Roman culture is copied or borrowed from Greece, so the understanding of ancient Greece is very helpful to the study of Roman history.

    2. Medieval history, contrast, because of Rome, the Middle Ages is called the Dark Ages.

    3. Books on Roman military, law, ** and social organization.

    Hope landlord!

    There is a documentary about Rome, "Ancient Rome--- The Rise and Fall of an Empire", a total of six episodes, filmed by the BBC.

    In terms of books, there is a "History of Rome" written by the Englishman Grant, which is more in-depth and simple, suitable for beginners, you can also go to see the "General History of the World", and there are also popular readings such as "The Story of the Romans".
