Fiction-
Augustus, by John Williams.
Only if you're interested in ancient Rome. More accurate than typical historical fiction. Won 1973 National Book Award.
Non- fiction
Hidden Repression by Alex Gladstein.
I have learned so much by reading his books.

No, I never did. I got interested when I started collecting ancient roman coins about 10 years ago. I have read 2 Augustus biographies and now this fictionalized one. I'm obviously just focused on him. I'll check them out.
