Recommended primary sources to use on a paper about ancient Rome?

by stexski

Need 3 primary sources. Specifically in regards to military (comparing ancient Roman strategies to modern armies) and culture clash (how did Roman empire face the many cultures around it, how was it influenced by some, to what extent did it ignore orhers)

Any good primary sources would be much apreciated

Hi - we as mods have approved this thread, because while this is a homework question, it is asking for clarification or resources, rather than the answer itself, which is fine according to our rules. This policy is further explained in this Rules Roundtable thread and this META Thread.

As a result, we'd also like to remind potential answerers to follow our rules on homework - please make sure that your answers focus appropriately on clarifications and detailing the resources that OP could be using.

Additionally, while users may be able to help you out with specifics relating to your question, we also have plenty of information on /r/AskHistorians on how to find and understand good sources in general. For instance, please check out our six-part series, "Finding and Understanding Sources", which has a wealth of information that may be useful for finding and understanding information for your essay.
