This is a seven-book series by Colleen McCullough before she passed on. It covers the last 100 years of the Republic - from the rise of Marius-to-Caesar-to Augustus. All the maps and illustrations are hers, and she includes a detailed glossary of Latin words, plus what Roman names meant, and how Latin was actually spoken. This is a MASTERPIECE of historical fiction - she even has a different take on Spartacus. FYI

I have only read The First Man in Rome about Gaius Marius and The Grass Crown about Sulla.
You’ve got 5 to go. BETTER WORLD BOOKS has a ton of them - I bought the whole series to read again for $46-and-change with free shipping. FYI
