Lilliputian Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I love historical fiction, particularly with an ancient setting. (Please no more Tudors or Victorians, I beg you.) I finished L.M. Affrossman's Simon's Wife recently, which is set in the first century AD, and loved it. Can anyone recommend anything around this time or before?

chesilbeach Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Pompeii by Robert Harris set in the 1st century BC, and The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller is a retelling of the story of Achilles and Patroclus in the Trojan War (which I think was 12C or 13C BC?)

Brian. Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Also by Robert Harris, the Cicero trilogy (Imperium, Lustrum and Dictator) are set in Roman times and very good in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
