the roles of slaves

Too brief a summary of the period covering such a long lasting empire and the vastness of the many discoveries unearthed since.

Easy going overview of Roman life

This is an easy going listen and overview of life in Roman times. It is interesting and has worthwhile information but being a short book feels a bit basic in style and content. The narrator is ok but the recording has too much "sss" sound emphasis as well as a "whisper" style of talking that may bother some.

Everyday life in ancient Rome

Enjoyed hearing the similarities between ancient times and modern society and the costumes of the times

Excellent, concise

Excellent, soft-spoken reader. Fun content, covers some things I hadn’t heard in similar Rome audiobooks. I recommend.

Good summary

Very good summary of life in Ancient Rome. It did have new material I have not heard and had a few interesting points
