What's a good introductory overview of the Roman empire that isn't fucklong?
Pic related has been getting great acclaim, but it stops around Caracalla.

Veni.Vidi.Vici by Peter Jones is a very basic overview of the Roman Empire until the separation. Chapters are about a page each and the whole things is about 300 pages.
It's pretty basic so read it and then buy more books on more specific topics, e.g. Caesar in Gaul or the Punic wars

History of Rome podcast is pretty good, it's a relatively long series but each episode is only 30 minutes.
