Acerca de esta escucha

What sort of men were the Roman emperors (and were they all men)? What background and training, if any, prepared them for their awesome responsibilities? What depravities did they display? And what achievements can they claim: laws passed, monuments built, lands and peoples conquered?

Dive into these questions and more with this introduction to the complex personalities of emperors such as Augustus, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero. These thirty-six gripping lectures bring to life the many emperors of Rome from the turn of the 1st century to the transition to the Middle Ages. For more than five centuries, these emperors-a checkered mix of the wise, the brutal, and the unhinged-presided over a multi-ethnic empire that was nearly always at war.

Professor Fagan takes you deep into ancient Rome, asking: How did this system of rule come about? What did it replace? And who were the colorful, cruel, and crafty men who filled the almost omnipotent post of emperor? One of the most intriguing questions about the emperorship is why it endured for so long.

As you witness the reigns of the successive rulers unfold, you will see how the office evolved with the political forces that sustained it, becoming more and more tightly bound to the military. Each step toward despotism was taken with a view toward expedience. But when that step became the new normal, it paved the way for the next step, and so on. As you explore these questions, you'll also study the amalgam of eyewitness reports, later compilations, archaeological remains, and inscriptions on monuments and coins. Contemporary accounts, when available, are not necessarily to be trusted, which means you play the role of detective, sifting for the truth of this spellbinding era.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Lo que los oyentes dicen sobre Emperors of Rome

Con calificación alta para:

The Reviews Praise Professor Fagan's Engaging And Entertaining Narration Of This Audiobook On Roman Emperors. They Commend His Thorough Coverage Of The Subject Matter, Accessible Language That Makes The Complex History Understandable, And Reasoned Arguments That Critically Analyze Sensational Tales. However, Some Reviews Note That His Delivery Occasionally Stumbles, Feels Overly Scripted Rather Than A Natural Lecture, And Is Paced Too Quickly At Times. There Are Also Comments About His Strange Pronunciations Of Certain Words. Overall, The Audiobook Is Highly Regarded For Providing An Informative And Entertaining Exploration Of Roman Imperial History.

Very Interesting

I took this course after taking the professor's course on the History of Ancient Rome. I like this course better than the other, in part because of the organization and pacing. This course takes the listener through the history of the Roman Imperial system ending with Emperor Constantine. I can quibble with his choice of an ending point, but this is still an excellent course with much to recommend it.

A very good look at Ancient Roman leaders.

I like the lecture series in general. Professor Fagan really knows his stuff. This a great overview of the leadership of Rome. His other lecture on the history of Rome is also highly recommended.

Great listen! Definitely learned a lot.

I really enjoyed Professor Fagan's Emperors of Rome course. He has a stronger accent than what I'm used to hearing (I'm from the US) but after a few lecturers I got used to it. His lectures are highly informative and the guy really knows his stuff. I definitely recommend a listen for any fan of ancient roman history.

Thoughtful comments researched history told by an extraordinary scholar.

I appreciate the detail and research explaining his interpretations and “lessons learned “ that are relevant to today.

Great Course!

I enjoyed professor Fagan's course on Emperors of Rome. His narrative and detailed review of imperial themes was easy to follow and explored the famous and infamous leaders of the Roman Empire. Highly recommend to others who are interested in the topic.

packed with info but dry delivery

I love ancient Rome and I find the lecturer very knowledgeable but his delivery rather dry. I'm not studying this subject, I'm a casual listener so his delivery which to me seems like reading from notes make this rather difficult to listen or get into. the words used are of course lecture style which makes it to me seem more lecture as it is than others I've heard who are great storyteller. but the subject matter is amazing so I'm going to listen on even if my attention drifts.

Fascinating History Well Delivered!
