	Two historical novels that I recommend highly are
I, Claudius and Claudius the King both by Robert Graves. The
BBC series I, Claudius was roughly based on these two books.
They had to cut a bit out of the books for the series. The
books are great--a lot of intrigue, backstabbing and the like.
It's kind of like a soap opera set in Imperial Rome. They're
lots of fun to read.
