    Are there people who pronounce his name any way other than BO-ee?

    EDIT: Sorry, I seemed to have neglected complimenting this cool excursion, which I would be happy to hear more of, @barabajagal

    Cheers, it’s like tomayto & tomahto. In the case of Bowie the American is correct though I’ve heard many a Brit call him Bow(as in ship)ie!

    It was a tenuous link to the above! 👹

    Regardless, happy to learn about the Boii.

    I shamefully admit I never studied Latin or ANYTHING about the Roman empire. What I know is gleaned from the occasional Hollywood move, and really, "Gladiator" is just terrible. Is there an engaging, easy and smart way in to this history? As Ken Burns did for "The Civil War," is there a pop-cultural entry point for this?

    And no, I'm not going to read Edward Gibbon's multivolume "Decline of the Roman Empire" when there's still so much to learn about Drambo!

    The best place for info on all things Roman Empire is YouTube IMO. Independent historians and content creators are producing stuff way more interesting than any of the mainstream history channels.

    For good play-by-plays of Roman battles check out the Kings & Generals channels.

    Ancient history is one of my passions.

    Mary Beard has a very good general audience book, SPQR:

    https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/oct/18/spqr-by-mary-beard-review-rome

    She also presents a number of excellent BBC documentaries on the subject which should be available for streaming.

    A classic adventure from Roman Britain by Rosemary Sutcliff:

    Of course, if you want to go for the original, the Landmark edition of Caesar is outstanding:

    Mary Beard’s programmes are fantastic , haven’t read any of her books yet. Saying that and given her style of presenting I would think her books would be an easy way in.
    The primary sources are a way in but you have to take into account their intended audiences.
    If you own a Kindle most of Penguin editions are incredibly inexpensive.
