    How detailed a history do you want???

    Proper history books could include...

    The Roman Republic - M.Crawford
    From the Gracchi to Nero - H.Scullard
    Oxford Classical Dictionary
    The Grand Strategy of the Roman Empire - E.Luttwak
    The Roman Empire - C.Wells

    and so on.. there are thousands of the wotsits...

    or what about the primary sources... Virgil's Aeneid & Georgics, Livy , Cato, Cicero, Ovid, Martial, Catullus

    It's a vast subjust... narrow down what you want to learn about.. Read some general books and then look at the sources.
