Livy's monumental History of Rome is a standard in the classical canon, but one thing I think classicists don't often recognize is how the various volumes are so much like novels. The War with Hannibal, Books XXI-XXX, has everything: world-conquering heroes and villains, ransacked cities, civilizations lost and reborn, small moments of hope and despair, great loves, tragic heartbreaks. Truly, I didn't know that history could be so fun, or even so suspenseful.
