Ciao, Ciao, Bambino or Ave atque Vale

 For the last two months I've been locked in Ancient Rome, with the Colleen McCullough series on Julius Caesar; three of the Conn Iggulden Roman series; Tacitus; Suetonius; Livy; an excellent new biography of Cicero of "Quam diu Catalina" third-year Latin  fame; Ruth Downie's Medicus series; Lindsey Davis's Falco series; and I'm now rereading the John Maddox Roberts mystery series, having just finished Morris West's Clowns of God.

If we still lived on the East Coast, it would give us something to do during the winter.
