There are hundreds of books on ancient Rome out there, some good and some not too accurate. If you are just getting interested in the subject, a good starting point is a book called "As the Romans Did" by Jo-Ann Shelton. This is a sourcebook in Roman social history and it gives you an idea of how they lived, covering just about all aspects of their lives. In addition, there is an extensive bibliography covering each subject, if you want to study further. Another book, "The Rise of Rome" by Anthony Everitt covers a general background. These are only two of the many that are out there and they can serve as stepping stones to further reading on the specifics of Roman culture such as government, gladiators, the army, family, etc. There are also biographies of the famous Romans such as Julius Caesar, Augustus and all the other emperors. And don't forget the ancient writers. Tactius, Seutonius, Dio, and Plutarch all have much to add. Your local librarians may also be helpful, for even if they don't have a certain book, they can get it for you from another library.
