I liked Tom Holland's Rubicon. A lot of people do not like his writing style.

There is a lot of information in Goldsworthy's The Complete Roman Army but when I ordered it I was expecting a bit more glitz like Warfare in The Classical Age (Wharry) except all about Rome.

Goldsworthy also wrote an excellent biography of Caesar.

I wish there was better historical fiction but Colleen McCulloughs series is good and very well researched. A bit of soap opera but good.

Hope this gives you a start.

Sorry if I have misspelled the authors names. Not looking at the books right now.
