001- In the Beginning

Welcome to The History of Rome, a weekly series tracing the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. Today we will hear the mythical origin story of Rome and compare it with modern historical and archaeological evidence. How much truth is wrapped up in the legend? We end this week with the death of Remus and the founding of Rome.

Wonderful depth!

Loved this from beginning to end. One of the most thorough looks at Roman history beginning to end that I’ve encountered.

Amazing narrator

Keeps the story really interesting and doesn’t get caught up in small unimportant details at all

addictive

I listened to this in the car with my son in a drive from DC to Buffalo and the time just flew past. you learn so much but this feels as if the narrator is telling you a story over a couple of beers. great series.

great

amazing series telling the story of a civilization that has influenced so much of our modern world
