You’re not alone

Gives you both the highlights of Roman emperors and dramatic turns as well as an overview of the history of the Roman empire from A to Z. You can always ask for more, but in one single volume this book tells the story in broad strokes in a comprehensive and enjoyable way.

Highly valuable

Great audiobook, if you are interested in roman history this is a fantastic introduction. It actually ended up getting to my house on my birthday, so it was perfect!!!

Excellent

Excellent, interesting history presented with fascinating details. Author has done extensive research for this well paced novel. Glad I am living in today's era as the brutality of Rome history really comes through.

Thank You

This book is very well written, it flows well and is not too academic. I would recommend it if you are planning a trip to Rome, as it will make you able to better appreciate all the history the city has on offer.

l got so much

Snapshots of Roman history! Learned a lot about the empire and how they dealt with the then-changing waves of tyranny and colonialism. Great read!

Enjoyable

The Roman History is well documented and easily understood in this well written book. What concerns me is, why Rome never learned from it's mistakes and is once again imploding from the greed of the elite.

Well Worth

This is a good overview of Roman history. It covers key events and turning points. The best thing about the book is the casual, narrative style. It reads more like a story than like a history book, which makes it much easier to follow and much more engaging. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and recommend it to anyone who is interested in Roman history but isn't sure where to start.

The valued resource material.

Not too long and not too short, either. An almost perfect read to assist us on Roman history. It is easy to listen to anyone would be glad to have this as a resource.

Entertaining

Great entertaining overview. If you want a basic overview of Roman History in an entertaining and informative audio book, look no further.

Great fast history lesson

Good audiobook telling the history of Rome from the believed beginning to its downfall. Many contributions to society from the Romans, from the form of government to their engineering feats.
