 | The Twelve Caesars (Penguin Classics) by Suetonius
Buy new: £32.51 / Used from: £4.90 Although still a great biographer (not as good as Plutarch though), Suetonius' '12 Caesars' is a great read precisely because it offers an insight into the personal lives of the Emperors

 | The Iliad (Oxford World's Classics) by Homer
Buy new: £3.46 / Used from: £0.04 The greatest work of Classical Literature in existence, if you haven't read this, then there is something wrong with you
|
 | History of the Peloponnesian War (Classics) by Thucydides
Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £1.20 No offence meant to Herodotus, but Thucydides' was the real father of History, the narration of Pericles funeral speech is beautiful
