Well, Heraklia, here are a few questions I have:

Who are some of your favorite historians? What historians do you admire for their style of writing?

If you had to rewrite Rubicon would you A) Run screaming from the stacks B) Draw a warm bath and a sword C) Write a tad more about Cicero's Philippics?

What is the back story to your proposition that Caelius was the mysterious informer during Catiline's revolt?

You've probably read Victor Davis Hanson. I regard him as an historian who successfully re-opens old histories and looks anew: country-dwelling Greeks, hoplites, etc. In retelling the history of the Roman Republic's end, what were you hoping would most catch your readers' eyes?

If the ancient structure of parallel biographies was ever resurrected, who from modern political and military leaders would you pair up with ancient Romans and Greeks? For example, Eisenhower and Scipio Africanus, Churchill and Cato the Elder, Blair and ?, Bush and Nero ...

Just to get things percolating
