What are the best books about Ancient Rome? Preferably stuff that covers it all: from the Latin hill tribes to the Byzantines and everything in between.

The Roman Revolution by Ronald Syme is a great book, but it's mostly about Octavian.
>>
History of Rome by Theodor Mommsen, find some abridged version of it
won him the nobel prize 100 years ago and still a reference work
>>
>>8233358
Will Durant Story of Civilization Vol:3

It feels like it literally covers everything

You probably won't find one. If there was one it would cover multiple books.

Find yourself a history of Rome, from the beginning to the end of the republic.

Then find one for the empire, from beginnings to the fall of the West.

Then find a history of the Byzantine Empire.

I doubt you'll find one that covers more than one thousand years in sufficient detail.

One I read recently was Ancient Rome by Simon Baker.

I'd recommend if you want the gist of Ancient Rome. It goes chronologically from the mythic beginnings to the fall of the western empire by exploring key events and figures.

It skips through a lot (for example Julian the Apostate receives only a sentence), but that is understandable when covering such a long period in about 400 pages.

It's filled a Rome shaped gap in my mind, and has given me the foundation to build up my Roman knowledge with more specific works.

I haven't read SPQR, but I think that covers a similar timeframe. Although I've seen it criticised for focusing more on Rome and it's nearby towns, than Rome the empire.

oh say can you see by the dawns early light
what so proudly we hailed
while the twilight's sent gleaming
with broad strips and red stars
through the perils of night
what so proudly we hailed
and the flag was still there
oh say can you see that star spangled banner yet wain (?)
for the land of the freeeeeeeeee
and the homeeeeeeeee of Atlanta braves baseball

She is actually attractive, if the image isn't "touched up" that is really hawt. Usually when they are that size they have stretch marks and cellulite. She is the perfect type of chubby... too bad it wouldn't last, she would have to work out to keep that shape from getting bigger.

>I would literally fuck anything that said it would fuck me
If someone put a voice synthesizer on a dog would you do it? How morally bankrupt are you that you would do things you find repulsive just so you can cum?

The reason america likes skinny girls is because they are pedophiles. They want the girl to look as under developed as possible, so they can legally fuck a "loli".

Why take girls who look like a malnourished 11 year old boy, and ask her to shave her pussy bald?

Some are also gay pedophiles, who want to fuck the closest thing that looks like an 11 year old boy. No wonder girls in america are into anal so much, if you don't do it your closet boyfriend will leave you.

Well there's "modeland" which is basically harry potter meets My Hero Academia but all the magic and quirks are vaguely modelling related and the wizards and heros everyone wants to be is the world's greatest model.
