Hi all,
I would like to know more about the history of Rome, but I don't know where to start. I'm looking for an introduction-type book: not too long, but reasonably up-to-date. I'm especially interested in the Republic and early Empire. Style is important, in English or Romance is fine, and being available in Kindle format would be much appreciated (sorry for the paper lovers, but between the smell and feel of paper, and being able to read in the dark, I've made my choice ).
