Historians: Herodotus, Xenophon, Thucydides

The latin canon:

Poets: Lucretius, Virgil, Horace, Ovid, Catullus, Tibullus, Propertius, Lucan, Persius, Martial, Plautus , Terence
Historians: Caesar, Sallust, Livy, Cornelius Nepos, Suetonius, Tacitus
Prose writers: Cicero, Vitruvius, Seneca, Petronius, Pliny
