Gore Vidal's Julian: one of the few books to tackle the Empire's later period.
Ben-Hur
Slave of the Huns, sorta kinda.
Robert Harris' Cicero trilogy is fucking GOAT, especially the first part.
Swedish novel The Long Ships is also GOAT.

Wow. What a great thread guys.
How's Quo Vadis, guys? I've had it sitting on my shelf for awhile.
Read "Empire" and "Roma" by Steven Saylor. Both very good historical fiction about a patrician family. Roma covers different family members from the founding all the way to Caesar. Empire starts up with Octavian and continues the story
