I have one for you
The Storm Before the Storm by Mike Duncan.
Follows the fall of the Republic as it decays, climaxing with Sulla taking Rome.
Duncan also has the preeminent podcast on the subject, The History of Rome. I’ve listened to it front to back many times.
Next on my reading list is Mary Beard’s SPQR, which I’ve heard great things about.
If it's because you want to understand money collapse due to inflation like when the Roman's took gold out of the money a better read is "when money dies" about the Weimar Repuplic = Germany after ww1.
