Have you ever read THE MASTERS OF ROME novels by Ms. Colleen McCullough? (I suspect that their mixture of political deviousness, richness of scholarship and juicy scandal would suit you quite beautifully – albeit the strong element of Caesarian partisanship can be more than a little wearing at times; Vivat Senatus Populus que Romanum!).

Yes. Excellent historical novels. Although the latter ones do shade very much into Julian propaganda. That being said, I’m far more on the side of the Populari than the Boni.
