The big Roman philosophy is Stoicism - for a bit of that, I'd recommend reading up on Seneca.
If you're looking for a big catch-all book, I'd recommend Bertrand Russell's History of Western Philosophy. You can focus on the beginning portion of it, of course.
I don't want to take the time to refute your argument. Read this. Maybe it can help you.
