There is just so much out there. Reading about Carthage is really interesting. I can suggest:

Was a really good read. I find reading about my favorites empires' enemies is pretty useful.

There is a book [Sailing From Byzantium] (http://www.amazon.com/Sailing-Byzantium-Empire-Shaped-World/dp/055338273X) by Colin Wells that is about this very subject. It is a fantastic read. I would highly recommend it. It talks about the legacy of the Empire in the West, Middle East, and in the Slavic world.

Judith Herrin's Byzantium: the Surprising Life of a Medieval Empire is probably the most accessible one I've read. It's fun enough that I'd recommend it to someone who doesn't study history academically, but it's not just airport bookstore fare either.

I actually learned about Heraclius mainly through eastern Christian sources because I was studying the early Islamic conquests through chroniclers such as Theophilus of Edessa.
