Livy wrote Ab urbe condita for this exact reason, read it.

Exactly, easiest most comprehensive source for the subject as a whole. if you want particular details then look up particular events but this is what your looking for

The works of Peter Heather and Pat Southern are good for an overview of the Late Empire

>particulary the wars they fought and how they won them
Oh, then you'll also need Caesar's de Bello Gallico and de Bello Civili. And Cicero's de Re Publica for good measure.

fpbp.

Listen all the way through and do more in depth reading about any parts that particularly interested you. I quite liked Mary Beard's SPQR, it's newer and really well written.
Imperium-wise Tacitus for facts, Suetonius for that sweet, sweet tabloid gossip. Plutarch is my favorite, though. I'm so sad that some parts are just gone forever.

Seriously. Why do people do this? It isn't the same as reading a book.

A.H.M. Jones is somewhat outdated but is still a fantastic overview of the period in my opinion.
