If you had some library budget for some secondary reading what would be your must reads for A-Level students? Most have no prior contextual knowledge.
I teach: Greece/Persia 492-404 BCE, Politics and Culture of Athens, Roman Britain 43-128 CE and the Julio-Claudians.

That was absolutely amazing. Up there with Vindolanda for Roman sites in the UK. Great access to the baths and sacred pool, displays, the temple courtyard and sculpture. I'll make a thread later.
