Satyricon-y links

Vaguely related to Satyricon:

Arthur Herman's The Idea of Decline in Western History. It's, well, about the idea of decline. I recall it being fairly readable (but I read it nearly ten years ago, I guess), and it may well be full of dubious claims that someone who knew more relevant stuff would argue with fiercely.

Everyone and their dog has a pet theory on why the Roman Empire collapsed, apparently.

Satryicon recommended translation

The recommended translation is the one by Peter Walsh, currently published by Oxford World classics. I think it'd be nice if we could all read the same translation for once, of course I realise that some people already own copies...
