Read this book. Seriously.

It reads so unbelievably well. It's not historical fiction, it's essentially a biography of Caeser focusing on his earlier life that's written in such a fantastic prose style that it reads like fiction. I couldn't put it down. It's one of the best history books I've ever read from an actual writing standpoint (so many of them are interesting but very dry).
Someone else mentioned I, Claudius. I listened to the audiobook, it was okay. I'd recommend it if you really want something on Ancient Rome specifically but as a book I find it didn't age terribly well. They come across a bit heavy. That's not necessarily a bad thing but I find you have to be in the right mood to read a book like that.
