Good read, that.<p>I like some ancient Roman writing. I tried to read the writings of Julius Caesar but only got part way through - too much ego.<p>I very much enjoyed and recommend the writings of Marcus Aurelius who was a stoic and one of the last &quot;good&quot; emperors. I am listening right now to a historical fiction audio book &quot;Dictator&quot; about the Roman Cicero. Mostly, all good stuff.
