Roma Eterna by Robert Silverberg. It's a fantasy/historical fiction about the possibility of the Roman Empire never falling in the Middle Ages, nor the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt. It's rather dense, and every time the characters bring up certain ethnicities, they have to always stereotype them. It's getting annoying, but I really want to see how it turns out, because it ends up ending in about 1970 in our time.
That's the other annoying thing about it; all the dates are in A.U.C., so I have to constantly subtract 753 from the dates on the chapters. Right now I'm in the 1500's A.D., so I still have awhile.
