Gore Vidal	Julian	Julian is a novel therefore its historical value is limited more to the facts that it gives than the actual people. If you want to get some ideas of how Mithraism was worshipped there is some information about it. In brief this is a book about the attempts of an emperor to stamp out Christianity and speaking about other religions.	First Ballantine books edition, January 1986
Arnold Toynbee	Mankind and Mother Earth	A must for anybody seriously interested in history. Toynbee looks at civilisations as a whole, rather than people and facts. This allows him to look at the conditions which favoured the creation, flourishing and inevitable decay of civilisations. It may be chilling, as it puts our own civilisation into perspective and shows that we are exposed to the same life cycle as all the others before us. And the rule seems to be: the hungry barbarians always win. Reviewed by Piotr
Various authors	Nyon	The small town of Nyon, in Switzerland, was built on the ancient Roman village of Neodunum. This special issue of Dossiers d'Archéologie describes in detail the buildings and artifacts already discovered and still, supposedly, buried under the buildings of the city. The context of other Roman sites in the region is also taken into account (Vidy, etc).	Dossier d'Archéologie No 232 - Avril 1998
Henri Sterlin	Empire Romain Des Etrusques au Déclin de l' Empire	Wonderful book - but exists in French only, to the best of my knowledge.	Taschen, Köln, 1996
