6. Imperium by Robert Harris. I really liked this book. It is told from a slave's point of view and really captures the intrigues and maneouvering of Roman Republic politics. I found it especially interesting considering the political upheavals both we and our neighbours to the south have undergone in the last 6 months. I am hopeful that a sequel is in the works as this book ends with Cicero's election as consul in 64 BCE. I think there is a lot of literary potential in the later battles fought between Cicero and Marcus Antonius.
