/lit/ - Literature

I had an interest in the Roman Empire but I feel like this is way too advanced for me. I'm still kind of reading it, but I feel like the only way I can get through it is to be by a computer because I'm not THAT well versed with Roman Empire history.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to literature I can read about the Roman Empire? One that can help supplement any prior knowledge that would be helpful for "Decline and Fall?"
