I've gone through greek history, poetry, and philosophy. What are good books on roman history, philosophy, and their famous works. Also, recs on more niche and miscellaneous stuff like roman politics, statues, life as a citizen, roman train of thought, foreign policy, religion, law etc. I'm decent at latin, so I can read untranslated works too.

Read the Roman historians

Plutarch's Lives is probably the most logical place to start as he deals with both Greek and Roman people
