Best history books on Rome as a whole? I'd prefer a fairly brief overview (300-600pgs) with good, even archaic prose. Or just recommend anything Rome related and post charts

Rome by Robert Hughes

Gibbons rise and fall of the Roman empire is the classic. I also recommend Rubicon and Dynasty by Tom Holland. SPQR by Mary Beard is a popular contemporary overview (wich I havent read yet). Definitely check out The history of Rome podcast too.
