I'm interested in reading up a bit on the Roman Empire, and have no clue where to begin. I've never studied it before, so all I know is pretty much snippets I've heard here and there, plus some extra I got from Shakespeare. :)
I know it covers a long period of time, but are there any books that might cover the Roman Empire in general, covering the span of its existence? What books and authors would you recommend, and who wouldn't you touch with a barge pole?
