Blame it on Sidebottom and Hughes

After a marathon summer working on the Crusades, Harry Sidebottom and Ian Hughes brought about a change of pace for a while.  Harry has a new Warrior of Rome book (The Last Hour) coming out in 2018 and available for pre-order from Amazon UK (unfortunately not in the US yet) that stoked my interest in Imperial Rome.  So what happened, I looked on my shelf and found these two lovelies:

Im reading both of these at once at the moment and you can guess you will see a Roman play test or two in the near future.  Both are quite good.  I have read all of Sidebottom's Warrior of Rome books and the first in the Throne of the Caesars trilogy.  I've read Hughes' books on Stilicho and Belisarius and suspect I will end up with Aetius on my shelf soon.  All are well worth the price.
