Resumen del Editor

Explore the captivating history of the Roman republic

When we think of ancient Rome, the first notion that comes to mind is the one of the empire, followed by the image of a mighty emperor, his legions, colossal buildings, and the Gladiators (or the rhetoric and poetry, depending on your preferences). Some may recall the image of a “unified” Europe under a single sovereign - the emperor of Rome. However, Rome did not become remarkable at this considerably late phase. In fact, many historians see the history of Rome under the Emperors as a long, gradual decline. It was during the republic that Rome gained an empire. Most of the achievements that the first emperor of Rome, Octavian Augustus, claimed to have completed were, in fact, earned during the Roman republic.

In this audiobook, we’ll have a close look at the beginning of Roman civilization, the foundation of the city and the Senate, the expansion of the Roman republic, its glory, and its end.

Some of the topics covered in this audiobook include:

  • The past that made it possible: The foundation of Rome between myth and history
  • Down with the kings: The past that made it happen
  • Early tepublic
  • Military achievements of early republic: Taking Italy
  • Middle republic: The Punic Wars and Mediterranean dominance
  • The military vs. cultural dominance: The Roman civilization meets the Greek world
  • Limitless power and the beginning of the end: The late republic
  • The age of the generals: Pompeius, Crassus, and Caesar
  • Senatus Populus-Que Romanus (SPQR) and its downfall
  • The rise and fall of Julius Caesar and the end of the Roman republic
  • And more!

Good Introduction

If you are looking for an introduction to Rome, then this would be a good start. It hits most of the high points and can provide names and places for deeper study elsewhere and it is not very long, a quick book.

Rich With Facts

All the exciting facts, moments and stories are well captured inside the pages of this book, and I really enjoyed listening to it. History can be boring sometimes, but this is something different.

Great

Easy to comprehend book. A useful prep for a trip to Italy. This and the captivating history help make Italy come to life.

Interesting book

It was very interesting, it is the first time I have listen to anything about the rise and fall of Roman Empire. I felt like It left a lot of things unexplained. I also felt like it assumed I knew more about Roman history than I did and I wish more things were more deeply.

SERIOUSLY bad, 3rd grade reading level.

If this is what people are listening to for their education, we are in trouble. Not only is this terribly written, but also, there are A LOT of words that the narrator doesn't even pronounce properly. He also doesn't even read the sentences right. There are long pauses and disjointed, incomplete sentences.
Don't pay attention to the 5 star reviews, they must be fake. If you want to learn about Roman history, look elsewhere.
