I second the Masters of Rome series. Currently I am reading Marius Mules by S.J.A. Turney. Its' a pretty good historical fiction read.
And if you're into listening to lectures that are more like researched stories based in historical facts you should check out Famous Romans by Rufus J Fears. It's available on Audible and part of "The Great Courses" series. I really like listening to the last Professor Fears. He is a great story teller.
Funny story... I took Latin for 3 years in high school. I still think that it's nuts that our instructor let us watch I, Cladius in full over a number of weeks in class.
