I take it you're a Classics professor? I used to have a good friend I worked with who was working on his Ph.D. in that area. I used to love to be able to talk with him about it.
I'm currently working my way through Gibbon. Unfortunately, the edition I have is the Modern Library edition, with Oliphant Smeaton's footnotes included with Gibbon's. Mr. Smeaton's footnotes are really beginning to irritate me. Can you recommend another good edition?
