Question

I am seeking credible sources for the above mentioned topics. THank you very much! I seem to have a hard time finding anything of credibility.

Answer 1

Do you live here a university or college??  Visit their bookstore and see if you can find a list of the required books for the initial level course on Greek or Roman history.

What are you going to concentrate on as their most similar traits?? Religion?   Art/Theatre?  Form of government?  

The Romans by R.H. Barrow (1949) a classic that has been re-printed forever.

A History of the Roman People by Fritz M. Heichelheim (1962, reprint 1984)

The Ancient World; a historical persepctive by Henry C. Boren (1976, re-print 1986)

Everyday Life in Classical Athens by T.B.L Webster (1969)

Source Materials --

Trust me, you'll love it!

Also use wikipedia.com -- find what you have to, and then look at the sources! I wouldn't suggest just reading the page of wiki and using that alone -- it's a fancy blog at the end of the day.
