Resumen del Editor

If you want to discover the captivating history of Rome, then pay attention....

Rome started as a kingdom, thrived as a republic, conquered vast territories when it was an empire, and became the Holy City during the Middle Ages. Even today, Rome continues to intrigue us with its rich history, architecture, art, literature, religion, laws, and language. The abundant archaeological findings of Rome and its surrounding are but a fragment of what the city once was. Nevertheless, it is enough to engage us, tickle our imagination, and satisfy our thirst for knowledge.

The importance of Rome cannot be argued. Its history is not the history of Italy or its people. Rome is a part of the foundation of Europe, just as Athens is. Without it, the world as we know it today wouldn’t exist.

In History of Rome: A Captivating Guide to Roman History, Starting from the Legend of Romulus and Remus Through the Roman Republic, Byzantium, Medieval Period, and Renaissance to Modern History, you will discover topics such as:

• The founding of Rome: myth and reality
• The Kingdom of Rome
• The Roman Republic
• Social wars and the end of the Roman Republic
• Pax Romana
• The third and early fourth centuries
• The fall of the West; the East thrives
• Rome in the Middle Ages
• The Renaissance
• Modern history of Rome
• Much, much more

Listened intently and learned so much

Then went out and explored Rome with deep understanding that I shared with my family

Good book

Captivating retelling of the great Roman Empire!

Amazing retelling of one of the greatest empires to exist on earth. A true neutral retelling, narrated expertly, this had me hooked from start to finish.

EXCELLENT!

Experiencing this comprehensive historical and factual reading has exposed the meager tidbits which our educational system calls history of the Western World. I now have a more complete understanding of our roots.

The level of detail is really impressive

I continue to be amazed at the level of detail the Captivating History books contain. I'm a history buff and read a lot of history books and watch a lot of history documentaries, The information I heard in this book not only corresponds or corroborates facts I've learned from other sources but includes new details I haven't heard or seen anyway else.

I learned so much

I found this audiobook very interesting to listen to. The narrator kept my full attention.

A Very Good Listen!

I love Greco-Roman history, so when I could get a chance to listen to a history book on it, I leapt at the chance. This was indeed one that I could not turn off. Just like the ebook, I was able to go through this in one go. Very fascinating! Definitely a must-listen!

Captivate story
