Obviously, I am a fan of the books of W. Warde Fowler. I first encountered one of his books in 1970. This book, ROME, saved my life at the time. I was due to start teaching a course in two days' time as a T.A. and I needed a departure point. This book gave me an overview and an insight into Rome such as I had never quite had in much more detailed books about the subject. Fowler cut through to the facts and principles which the Republic and the Empire were subject to and, as I said before, made my life much easier. I have since discovered all of his other writings and it is wonderful to encounter such a scholar of the old school with such wide-ranging knowledge and interests.
