Tacitus
A classic in all senses baikberuang Tacitus is considered the most difficult Roman historian to translate and some of this follows through in the translation; Tacitus is the Hemingway of Rome, assuming readers know the subjects he's covering and are reading him for the subversive context rather than for basic knowledge. He famously sums up eight centuries of Roman history in the first pages, before delving deeper into his main obsession, freedom. He would be a must read for a well educated conservative.
