The Penguin Translations are almost always the best, but they don't have everyone's biographies translated.<br /><br />Here are two I recommend:<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Makers-Rome-Lives-Penguin-Classics/dp/0140441581/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1447010322&sr=8-1&keywords=plutarch%27s+lives+penguin<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Fall-Roman-Republic-Penguin-Classics/dp/0140449345/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1447010322&sr=8-4&keywords=plutarch%27s+lives+penguin<br /><br />And second I recommend reading Cicero's speeches and treatises -- which contain the philosophy of the greatest Romans.<br /><br />You can find all of these as free ebook downloads on www.gutenberg.org; and if you get Plutarch's Lives for free on gutenberg, I highly recommend going with the George Long translation. Absolutely my favorite!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />-JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02037654579970701695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792313241862520060.post-34805557958693633122015-11-08T03:18:37.338-08:002015-11-08T03:18:37.338-08:00Would you please recommend a book or two that woul...Would you please recommend a book or two that would give me a good historical overview of what you're describing as the greatness of Rome-your column has sparked me to learn.<br /><br />Thank you<br />MMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
