Ancient Rome list: Requesting advice to help weed down…again.

Same as my AG list. Please tell me if some are too old or youngish for my children based on your experience and if there are those that can not be missed.

Mine are 12 and 13. The only ones non-negotiable are the ones based on actual sources (Unless they are too old for them, re: content suitability).

To be honest, I don’t expect to get all the way to Rome’s withdrawal from Britain, but I have it here anyway.
