What is the purpose of the mention of the Platonic month in Revelation? If Revelation (and the 666) is about Nero, then explaining this one should be a piece of cake.
Quote: "The meanings of much of the original symbolism have been lost." Good job of pretending there. And did not answer my question.
Bad mushrooms? I would caution against trying to read too little into it.
@ex arcam, I need more details, not just claims that are not supported. Thanks. More from me later.

The book of Revelation separates the Roman empire into the old one Rome/Roman Catholic and the anglo saxon/Protestant one that rose up in it's place. Rev. 17:10, 11 mention that 5 kings have fallen, 1 is (Rome) and the other has not yet come (US/England) and it is the 7th. Then they make an 8th they want the world to follow (the United Nations). UN is mentioned in Psalms chapter 2 and 1 Thess. 5:2, 3.
The BIble also requires a day for a year and a year for a day. Jesus preaching work was said to be half a week or 3 1/2 days, but he preached that long in years not days.
The 7 times started in daniel, were going in Jesus' day (he mentioned it) and continue until the start of the last days or 1914. Then Jesus is given power to throw his enemies (Satan and demons to earth). Revelation 12, Psalms 110, Hebrews 1 esp. 13.
The day for a year stuff is used to date the 7 Gentile times and also Jesus being baptized to become the messiah. There is a chapter on them in the Live Forever in Paradise Earth book on the WT library cd. I also have a copy of that book extra. It is really good.
That Michael and the angels war with Satan in heaven and throw them (demons also) to earth and that they are abyssed the 1,000 years again also shows they are real beings. They lived in heaven to start with.

Answer
If you want to learn about the Roman Legions:
"Legion: the Definite History of every Imperial Roman Legion" by Stephen Dando Collins (Easy to read, GREAT battle descriptions).
A Bit of everything:
"Ancient Rome" by Nigel Rodgers (Very easy to read!)
A Classic:
"Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire" by Edward Gibbon (The best!)
Some of the REAL Classics:
Anything by Tacticus, Amminus, Julius Caesar, and Livy
A Handbook:
"Legionary: The Roman Soldier's (Unofficial) Manual" by Philip Matyszak (Very funny, Becuase its true)
So, you want to be a Gladiator?
"Gladiator: The Roman Fighter's (Unofficial) Manual" by Philip Matyszak
What about Byzantium?
"The Byzantine Empire" by Charles William Chadwick Oman
Something gross:
The two Horrible HIstories books by Terry Deary are enjoyable, but at times inaccurate
