I remember enjoying reading Jack Massa's Mooncrow back in high school. His "Conjurer" series looks interesting:

In an entirely different vein, Lindsey Davis wrote a series of "detective" novels set in Imperial Rome, the Marcus Didius Falco series. Start with Silver Pigs...

They are interesting and funny and not epic in any sense of the word. It has been a while since I read them but my recollection is that the feel of that period was pretty good.
