    That was excellent. Thank you! Some very good questions there and a lot of insights into the parallels between the archaeological and literary processes. I've read a lot of Harris, met him when I got my copy of Pompeii signed and gave him a copy of the Napoli Unplugged Guide to Naples. The Cicero trilogy is majestic in terms of scale and imagination and RH is the perfect person to take the reader on a deep dive into the politics of the Roman world.

    Haha, the classic Career in Ruins time machine question! Thank you Derek, and thank you Robert, for a fascinating interview. Sounds like I need to check out the Cicero trilogy. So many books so little time. :D

    Derek, you asked great questions and it was a fascinating conversation to listen to, but your fuzzy picture and background was very distracting! I want to see you do more of these, but I’d like to see you clearly next time. You’re a fine addition to the Team!

      I felt the same way, but sadly I get the impression no one has looked at any comments. There are so few and none have been replied on at all.

    ...the way he inserts "Titan" as title in Germany is so genius!
