Twelve Greeks and Romans Who Changed the World

Great book if you like history, antiquity - Greek & Roman culture, etc. It's a fast reader, full of historic facts. This is a good book for anyone interested in ancient history and how these 10 men really canged the world they lived in - cosequently shaping the world we live in (I say 10 because I don't care much for the last two...). Overall, a great book: it keeps you interested, it's not dry; every chapter gives the reader a chance to delve into a specific period in history - the times of Homer, Themestocles, Alexander, Caesar, Cicero, so on. Highly recommend it.
